Troubleshooting an ADSL connection.

Check the cables

Make sure all the cables are connected as appropriate.

Check basic information with your ISP.

Make sure you are using the proper protocol (PPPoE or an other one?). Confirm your user name and password. You can ask you ISP to check the status of the network: they should be able to check that the line is working from their server to the adsl modem you are using.
