yesterday i tried to install solaris. at the beginning it tried to install network for nearly 5 minutes (but i have adsl, so it didn't work ). then it didn't like my hdd and suggested to delete all partitions and create a own one. because i didn't like it, i didn't do it

the problem is now: i do also have two linuxes (gentoo and kubuntu) and freebsd. and in all of them adsl isn't working no more. i know, it sounds strange, but solaris must have done something to my network card.
and it isn't really broken, because in windows adsl works just fine.
what may be the problem? here's ifconfig of it:
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:40:F4:BF:FF:2C
BROADCAST MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0

actually, i believe it also could have reconfigured my adsl modem.
it identifies itself as zyxel prestige 660R-63/67. there's lots of settings in the web interface, but they don't say me anything.

It sound very strange usually in 100% cases any clean system install do not touch your router.
Check if somebody else did something on you ro
