Hi guys (especially Vishal and ways2gain).I still cant believe that XP is giving me so much of problems , but we still dont know what exactly is the issue so cant blame XP.I did reset the modem and also did follow the BSNL manual for configuration of IP address and yes I have checked it many times for mistakes and I have done a manual config ....Which includes assigning the IP address and the subnet
mask.The IP address can be anything starting 192.168.1.x...I am waiting for tmrow .I have also applied a leave to office to make sure I am here when the \"greats\" arrive.My manager found it very much amusing when I told him the reason for me takin a leave...Anyways I am convinced there is no probs with XP or hardware....So let the \"BSNL techiezz\" take over.

Why do u need to set the IP address / subnet mask etc. of the TCP/IP for accessing internet. :huh: This is required only to access the modem's config page. If PPPoE dialler (the winXP default or any installed dialler) works properly, your modem should work too without any further config. Also Check the state of the LEDs , which should be as follows -
Power Steady green light indicates the unit is powered on.
ADSL LINK Steady green light indicates a valid ADSL connection.
ADSL ACT Blinking green light indicates there is traffic over ADSL line.
LAN LINK Steady green light and orange light indicates a valid LAN connection. The green light indicates that the speed of data transfer is 10Mbps; the orange light indicates that the speed of data transfer is 100Mbps.
LAN ACT Blinking green light indicates there is traffic over Ethernet.
If the lights are ok, your ethernet card and ADSL link should be ok. The trouble in this case could be in the PPPoE component of your OS.
--------------------------------
As for accessing the modem's config page. here's what u have to do-
Open the Network connections. Right Click the properties of the LAN connection. Click TCP/IP and click properties. Enter the IP address 192.168.1.2 , Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0 and defult gateway as 192.168.1.1. Save the settings and close.
Open browser and type
http://192.168.1.1 and enter username "admin" and password "admin" or as given in your modem manual and you'd be taken to the modem config page.
Setting this IP has nothing 2 do with your net access and even if u do not set this up, internet access would not be affected if everything else is working fine. This merely puts the computer and the modem in the same LAN and enables users to access the modem's config page in the firmware. To be doubly sure abt the ethernet card, once u set this up, ping 192.168.1.1 from the command prompt and u should get a reply, if ur card is ok.
BSNL assigns IP addresses automatically by DHCP. At this moment mine is 59.93.160.239 . Once u create the dialler, that would be assigned automatically. No manual setup is required.
One more thing - When connecting MT800 to any Ethernet device that is capable of operating at speeds higher than 10Mbps, be sure that the device has auto-negotiation mode enabled for the connecting port.
*** Checking for Proxy Service
If the browser software on the computer you are using is configured to use a proxy server for Internet access, it is necessary to first disable the proxy connection.
In
Windows Internet Explorer, you can check if a proxy server is enabled using the following procedures:
1) In the Explorer Window, select and click on ToolsàInternet Options, and enter the Internet Options window.
2) In the Internet Options window, click the Connections tab and click on the LAN Settings button.
3) Verify that the “Use proxy server” option is NOT checked. If it is checked, click in the checked box to deselect the option and click OK.
