Thanks for all your help guys! YOu are wonderful!
Finally I got it connected. A new person came from BSNL to complete the installation after numerous complaints. He gave username and password for the connection. After this somehow they swapped my telephone line with some other telephone number and I wasn't able to connect. I came to know about it only after 3 days when somebody came and told that you are not answering the phone. Since I was getting the dial tone, I didn't know that there is any problem with my phone. Then I called my mobile number and saw that it's getting some other called-id. Finally I complained it 4-5 times and they connected my line after 2 days.
Everything worked fine after that. However, the modem was configured in bridge mode and I wanted it to be in PPPoE mode so I remotely login to my parents machine and configured the modem to send the username and password. I also enabled the DHCP server on it. Now it’s all configured and my parents have to power on the computer and they are connected.
I was having few question:
Are there any disadvantages of using modem in PPPoE mode than using it as bridged?
If I connect L2 switch (as modem has only one ethernet port), will modem provide the IP address to all the devices connected to L2 switch?
I have been provided DareGlobal DB108 modem. Does this modem implements NAT?
I was looking forward to connect VOIP phone. Do you guys have any idea that how much bandwidth it takes in ideal condition and when it is in call?
Thanks a lot and I really apprecitae your help!

Yes, of course u hav to provide da username u hav submitted at tym of ur BSNL dataone connection request. n yea it has to b configured in ur adsl modem. n No u dont need ny application of sort in order to confugure ur adsl modem. U can jus get into ur DSL
router's configuration panel jus by typin this most common IP address in ur browser address bar.
Most Common DSL Router's IP address(es) : 192.168.1.1[dis works for most one port modem] or 192.168.0.1[dis works for most 4-port wireless router adsl modem] or 192.168.1.0[for da rest of 4-port normal USB or jus LAN mode modem]
Da user name wud b "admin" and da password wud b "password" in most cases if not try putin da password as "admin" itself
