I've installed many SpeedTouch Home modems, the technique is the same

Unless your ISP is using Ethernet over ADSL, I'm *guessing* that you'll
need to install a PPPoE client - I use roaring penguin. I gave up on the
packaged debian version, downloaded it straight from their site, ran the
installer, it asked some questions, including account and firewall
details, set it all up magically, and all my problems went away...
