Hi,
Just two days back I got my new Airtel broad band connection (Speed All for one - 699 Plus) plan. Everything was working just great when I decided to configure a wireless router (Linksys WRT54G) with the Airtel modem.
I configured the router using the installation cd packaged with the same but somehow the router was unable to connect to the airtel modem. A little research on the net pointed me that the modem must be configured in Bridge mode. (http://sanjaygoel.blogspot.com/2006/12/setting-up-wireless-router-with-airtel.html).
I did just the same and then everything started working fine again - my laptop to wireless router to airtel modem. However it had one side effect - I am now unable to access the management screen of airtel modem. !!
But now there is one more problem. I have to restart my laptop/router/modem everytime i need to access the net. A little research on the net again pointed that there is some thing wrong with a setting called - "Dial on Demand" for PPPoE type of connnection. This setting is there in both the router and the modem. (https://broadband.forum/index.php?showtopic=7665).
Now how should I change this setting - should be set to zero in both router and modem ? Is this the right solution ?
Secondly how should I access my modem management screen ? without which I would be unable to change the settings as mentioned above. !!
Looks like I need to reset the modem - but then I do not know the configuration settings done by the airtel guy - Any pointers ??
Thanks in advance,
