Type 1 modem not connecting to PC

I have BSNL broadband at home. they provided me with "Type 1 ADSL 2+ CPE/Router" modem which is a Syrma technologies product. i didnt have a lan port behind my CPU so i bought an external card "Realtek RTL8139 32-bit PCI bus". i updated it with the required drivers. but when i connected the modem through this lan card to the PC, it does show "100mbs connected", but i am unable to open the configuration page in the browser, it shows "The server at 192.168.1.1 is taking too long to respond." o after some time it also shows "limited or no connectivity" in the system tray. here i would like to bring to your notice that the lan lamp on the modem blinks every 3 seconds, that means it must be getting disconnected somehow.
To see whether there is any problem with the modem, i connected it using usb, it worked fine. i also checked it in my friend's home, who had inbuilt lan port, it worked there too. so i think there is no problem with the modem.
To see whether there is any problem with the lan card, i first got it replaced from where i bought it and again tried, but still i was unsuccessful, same problem ocurred. then i brought my friend's type 2 modem and connected it to my PC using lan, surprisingly it worked. so the lan card is also fine. also the lan cable is fine.
here are my configuration details...i would like to add that all ip address details were provided by the BSNL people, and i use them successfully when connecting modem via usb. i use win xp. i have pentium 4, 2.66 GHz, 1 GB RAM
i got this by typing "ipconfig/all" in cmd:
