It looks like you have a dsl modem with a built-in router.
In that event, once you have your internet connection set up using a
browser you don't have to set it up again for the new operating system.
The internet connection belongs to the WAN side of the router, not to
the computer or computers attached to the LAN side.
The linux set-up has to be straight lan with automatic ip (chdp/bootp).
DO NOT TRY TO SET UP THE COMPUTER FOR ADSL BECAUSE IT DOES NOT BELONG
TO AN ADSL CONNECTION. The linux ADSL set-up is for modems that do not
have a built-in router.
Your computer is part of a local area network, of which the router in
the modem/router device is your gateway to the wide area network. The
local area network does not care what is on the other side of the
router.
