Hi,
    Thanks for the reply manilal. as you have told if modem is
configured in PPPOE mode (i.e. username & password stored in the
modem) it works, but if you want to have public ip assigned to your
linux box, then you need to connect using the bridge mode (modem
configuration), in your case, ISP assigns public ip to your modem and
it will be treated as gateway for your network, but i want a
indivisual linux box who will be treated as gateway for my network
alongwith the mail server, squid cache server facilities.
     so you have given right solution but it not works for me, anybody
please help me out with this issue.

Yogesh...
