Dear All,Anybody have idea how to setup Tata wimax in Ubuntu 9.4? I am stuck with this topic. Actually Ubuntu is trying to connect but after some time its says offline. Seems network card is installed properly. With windows installation also there was a problem first. The person who came to install the device changed the network card setting "Speed/Duplex settings" to "Autonegotiate for 10HD". Then only the connection started to work in Windows. Mine is NVIDIA nForce network controller.I think the same setting need to be applied in Linux (Ubuntu 9.4). But I dont know how to do that.. Anybody for help?Thanks,
 
what is the brand of your wimax CPE/router ?

you need to open a terminal(in menu Applications>Accessories>Terminal) and type :

Code: 
sudo /etc/init.d/dhcpd restart
when password is asked ,give your ubuntu login password.when you type the password on terminal ,you cannot see it ,nor there any feedback that you are typing the password.once entered ,press "ENTER" key.then try again.

Thanks for the help. I have fixed the problem. Problem was with my NIC's duplex/speed setting. I made it correct. Now everything works fine🙂 :hysterical:
