Copying and pasting the link worked. Thanks.

So I see that the the modem is working on busybox and using ash shell. It appears that it is a commonly found OS in modems/routers. I found these couple of pages which will be useful to know more about his:

- About busybox (http://www.busybox.net/downloads/BusyBox.html)
- About the OS and telnet in router (http://www.cyberciti.biz/nixcraft/vivek/blogger/2005/09/hacking-dlink-502t-router.html)


So once you telnet to your modem, could you post the output to these command (in the following "#>" means the prompt):
#> cat /proc/cpuinfo
#> cat /proc/meminfo
#> cat /proc/version

thanks.

I am Sorry i didnt notice ur post so sorry for the delay Link u provided is really usefull i will play around with some basic command and will psot the images or out put .One more question is some of the frnds in this forum said each and every BSNL user will have a public ip in every sessiion and that ip will remain the same in that entire session.and morover when i checked the website whatismyip.com i got an ip address and i tried telenting to that and it was going to by router so does that mean i can telnet to my router from outside.but i tried pinging the same ip from a diff internet connection i am not getting reply.do i have to add any static route or something in my router please assist

Yes you can telnet to your router from outside provided that you're not blocking telnet port access from your WAN side.
Your router might be dropping all ICMP packets blindly, hence no ping reply.
Check settings of
cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/icmp_echo_ignore_all

Also check how netfilter is being configured by executing following command
iptables -L -v | grep icmp

And if rule is being set to drop ICMP packets by default then modify it accordingly.

I think in the web configuration of wa1003a, there a page called "remote access" or "remote management" or something like this. That page has an ICMP check box and a ping check box.

I am not sure what their purpose is, but one can try checking both the boxes, saving the configuration and restarting the router, and trying pinging again and trying telneting to the computer by its ip address.

I forgot to point out that it is *not* recommended to use telnet over the internet. Telnet sends its passwords in clear text so anybody snooping on your connection can easily read your username and password. So people who are very security concious or where security is critical never use telnet. The best alternative is ssh. But I don't think wa1003a runs an ssh server.

Having said that, you could try telneting just for the sake of experiments. But once you have done that, it will be a good precaution to change your login password in the modem/router.

But one can usually trust one's local network (LAN), e.g. at home, so it is okay to use telnet there.

I will try out the steps you mentioned above but i dont think i have seen a page "remote access" or "remote management" in web configuration but still will give a try and let you know

Your modem don't provide these functionality by default, does it have options for same ?
Well data transfer calculation is pretty easy on linux boxen using iptables, bandwith throttling is also easy using tc and tc-ng on linux boxen.

Now though your modem uses linux as os, does it provide enough tools to do the same ? Does it provide a simple way to save your configuration in NVRAM ?

Could you please elabrate a bit "Does it provide a simple way to save your configuration in NVRAM ?
" and what is "tc and tc-ng" the iptables command is running

I am sorry, but does your image say something like \"Remote linking forbidden\"? If not, then there is a problem with your linked image.

Also, an easy way to always know your IP is by using a free dynamic DNS service. I use www.no-ip.org. It is free and you can choose a domain name of your choice (it will be a subdomain of no-ip.org or zapto.org or some other as choices given by no-ip). For example, you can choose your domain name to be sgmandy.no-ip.org. You would need to install a small daemon on your computer (available for both Linux and Windows) which will keep updating your IP address assaciated with your domain at regular intervals or at boot times. So you just connect to sgmandy.no-ip.org instead of having to know your IP address.

regards.

I have registered a domain name in www.n-ip.org and instaled Dynamic DNS update client.after that when i do a ping from my computer to the the newly created domain name i am able to get reply the ip its resolving is my BSNL public ip if i tried to open the domain name the page is opening is my routers admin page.

When i tried to ping this same domain name from a diff internet connection its resolving my ip address but no reply (could be bacuse icmp is blocked earlier also if i tried to ping my BSNL ip it will not give reply frm a diff network) but when i tried to open the website its not opening the router admin page.this is i need help..then how do i change my home page to diff page ? one more thing is how do i enable ICMP requests in my router (ping replies) mine is wa1003a router have got access to both telnet as well as http configuration page please assist

Okay, from what I understand (your lack of punctuation makes it difficult to understand clearly what you have written), you want a different web page to come up if your domain name is browsed in a web browser. For that you need a web server installed in your computer.

To allow ping from external IPs, you need to enable ICMP. I think pages about advanced firewall rules in the router's web configuration have that option.

I enabled ICMP and remote administration in my router now i am able to ping my router from outside however the remote telneting and web configuration is still not working
