broadband internet connection

i am very new to linux. i have installed red hat 8. please help me to
connect me to the internet. i have bsnl broadband connection and have a modem no UT-300R2U (what they give) and ethernet card DFE-520TX 10/100Mbps PCI ADAPTER.

Red Hat 8 is an old distro, and may not support your hardware, thus you are having problems. You would be well served upgrading to something newer, such as Fedora 10 (Red Hat was forked after 9 into Fedora and Red Hat Enterprise Linux). Things may start working right away if you upgrade

If you cannot upgrade at the moment, you could still try to get things working (I strongly recommend upgrading though!)

I assume your basic setup is from the wall into the modem, then from the modem via ethernet cable into your nic card, correct?

Please post the output of the command

Code:

lspci -v

so we can see the exact model of your card and if it is properly loaded.
