Datafox - Bandwidth Usage Monitoring Extension For MTNL Triband Broadband

[infernalproteus]

kwaan, thanks for the quick reply.I just spoke to Apoorv who tested the Delhi functionality. For him, going to register.bol.net.in and entering his credentials takes him directly to his usage details without any redirects in between. Not sure why you are being redirected - is your username just your phone number? What is your IP range? Trying to figure out what is different with your connection.

Yeah , even for me the stats get displayed on MAHANAGAR TELEPHONE NIGAM LIMITED only

my bad...it is MAHANAGAR TELEPHONE NIGAM LIMITED but I had the IP saved instead of the domain name so was getting confused...but it's the above domain name that I have to use to check usage, not just register.bol.net.in

but when I installed the plugin and inserted the phone number as username and password and hit login, a red X stays at bottom right corner of the icon and nothing happenes? what's going on there?

yea username is just phone number and nothing else...IP range is
59.177.132.XXX

Yes, DataFox uses that same address, I only mentioned the domain in my post.

If you hover over the icon, it should give you some idea of what error it ran into. Let me know what that is.

Otherwise, just PM me your username and password and I will check it out here. Thanks!

manu, is DataFox working for you?

kwaan,Thanks for your details. Even though you go to the same site initially, the flow is different. Apoorv for instance does not have to click "Login" again and re-enter his credentials. Seems that Delhi is redirecting you based on your username and unfortunately DataFox is not prepared for this.Are any other users experiencing this problem? Is DataFox working for you? Please respond so we may have a better idea of what is going on.Thanks!

Thanks for looking into this. I guess MTNL has prob changed the login behaveviour for new Delhi users.

Dont know if this is a temporary thing or if there is a problem, but I just got here and downloaded the plugin and installed it with Firefox and it refuses to connect up and download the details.

I am a new BB user with MTNL and i have a username that is suffixed with the @a in the end. When i visited the MTNL site, they asked to click on a link that took me to http://59.185.101.2:10080/jsp/Login.jsp and it failed to load that page as well.

So, my guesses are as good as yours. I am assuming the server is down right now for that site and thats the reason DataFOX is not logging in.

Correct me if i am wrong.

I use MTNL broadband at office and home. At both places, I have Firefox 3.5.3 and DataFox 1.7.5 installed. In office datafox is working superbly. But at home i am unable to use it. At home i can access my data usage by logging to http://59.185.101.2:10080/jsp/Login.jsp However, i can't access my usage thru' datafox. It shows "NaNMB" in status bar or red cross icon. The username is "[email protected]". Can you please me configure this.

Datafox was previously working at home on firefox older version few weeks back. But i don't remember which version.

mmm...I prefer to use ProteMac Meter

About 6 months ago DataFox stopped functioning for MTNL Bombay users with @ in their usernames. DataFox 1.9 was released 2 weeks ago which should fix this problem.

Just out of curiosity, are you still supporting this?

 

[Sushubh]

brian is actually in gurgaon these days. i do not think he has discarded this project. if it is not working, he would probably try to fix it out though he would need help from an account holder.

 

[enkay]

That's nice to hear. I'm trying to use it on Firefox and it doesn't seem to be working, and I'm a dev myself. If he's reading, I'm willing to help out with my account details, and testing etc.
