First thing first. Please make sure you do a 'Reply All' so that your
reply goes to mailing list as well and others can help too. Also
please use bottom posting while replying and not top posting.

Looking at the screenshot it seems that your modem+router is actually
working in bridge mode and your PC is getting the IP directly from the
server on ISP side. It is possible that this was changed by the tech
support guy (typical of them).

So in Ubuntu try following command - sudo pppoeconf. After you have
configured connection, you can start connection with 'pon
dsl-provider' and stop with 'poff dsl-provider'. It should be possible
to configure and use connection from network manager's DSL tab in GUI
but I have never tried it.
