Narendra: I opened the page which Rajat had sent. 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?

Thanks,
Mihir
