It gave instructions for configuring ADSL using a utility called pppoeconf. I made a silly error in the username a few times, then I corrected it. As a result, I am now able to connect using pon dsl-provider and disconnect using poff dsl-provider provided I turn off the IITD- specific proxy settings. But, somewhere along the line, I did something which caused the disappearance of the icon for connections, which appears at the top right-hand cornerof the screen with the laptop battery icon, the sound icon etc. This is a problem, because I will need that icon sooner or later and I don't know how to bring it back. Rajat: Thanks yaar, but I am not sure the links you have sent are really relevant here. I've described my problem in detail now, do you think those pages are relevant?
