I had a similar problem but I had to set my DSL Modem is "Bridge" mode and use a crossover cable to connect to my red -dsl connection.

YEAH BABY!!!...UP AND RUNNING.  Now is where the real fun begins:)  Only took two days just to figure it out.  Can't wait to see how long it will take me to configure this bad boy:)

For future reference, how did you fix the problem?

Well i'm not sure that there was a problem per say.  I will tell you that there was no way to know whether it was working or not when installing version 6.01 er somthing.  But when i downloaded 6.5, i noticed that it included a feature at the console screen to test internet connection which was a huge help.  For dummies like me who do not know linux syntax to be able to do things as such it really helped me.  Now that its up and running it's time to start reading up on how to use linux and not just install linux:)
