How to Connect to the Internet during Ubuntu 13.04 installation via Thomson Speedtouch 510i DSL Modem?

How to Connect to the Internet during Ubuntu 13.04 installation via
Thomson Speedtouch 510i DSL Modem?

I want to use Ubuntu in a dual-boot Environment besides Windows7 x64. DSL
Internet connection via Windows works fine, but I cannot setup the
connection in Ubuntu.
I've tried 'sudo pppoeconf' with the result 'Access Concentrator does not
respond'. I've also tried setting up the Connection manually in the
network manager (eth0 + VPN), but that doesn't work either. I've got as
far as 'network connected' and 'VPN connected', but there's no Internet
access.
I'm a Linux noob (I've just tried SUSE 7.x for a short time many years ago
without network) but otherwise a C64 and MS-DOS veteran, still the Ubuntu
network/internet setup makes me feel like a complete idiot. Please help.
