well cancer, i really don't have any idea as to the solution...for me it worked by changing the subnet to default, but i don't think there's anything like that for u...also, i've got another LAN card now...so moved the Sify to the new card and MTNL to the onboard one...everything's working fine as far as internet is concerned, but having a couple of other probs...will talk about them in the appropriate sections...just keep an eye on the "Computers and Technology Forum" and see if u guys can help me out 😀
