Hi Friends,
Continuing with my quest to connect using Triband. I FINALLY got my Triband ADSL Modem. Now here is the progress in Timeline format.
3:15: Lineman comes to fixthe modem. Like I said in my previous mail https://broadband.forum/index.php?showtopic=2290 titled "No triband connection even after one month", The lineman wanted me to fork money for nothing and he says "Sahab, Nay Wiring karna padenga paisa...."
Around 4:00-4:30: My connection is setup, BUT I am not able to connect to the Web. I tried on Windows XP assuming it wud be simplest to get started on then wud do it myself on Linux. The Lineman obviously knew nothing about Computers. I asked him is the account activiated from Prabhadevi Main Center He replied "Pata Nahi, hum to sirf line lagate hai yeh kamputer bamputer hamko malum nahi".
No matter hom much I try, I just cannot connect my PC to the router. Just for ur info. The power light on the modem is stable, Status is blinking, ADSL, Ethernet is also Stable. I field compliant on 1504 twice said someone will get back but noone did.
Around 7:00: Got an idea, maybe DHCP Client is not active. I started it and got connection to Router. IPConfig says eth0 has so and so IP, Lease Start time etc etc.
Wow, that means I should be able to surf. But wait how can I be so lucky. I am still unable to get online though all lights on modem are proper.
Now my question is, unlike the D-Link claim on their Modem box for Plug and play connectivity, Do we have to run some Setup etc for going online?
What could be the problem. What are the setting required for Mumbai. Now that I have come uptil here. Please help me jump the last leap to Nirvana.
I have tried setting my username/password in modem to my telno and CA no. I also tried running the setup wizard and selected connection type PPPoe/PPPoA etc. But still no vain.
My second query is My firmware on the modem is V2.00B01T01.DI.20050121. Is this the latest Firmware with issues fixed. Should I return my hard earned modem to ask for some different one.
Please guide.
