Thread: Airtel Maintainance and Port forwarding horrors

Hi all,

I have been using Airtel for nearly 2 years now without any problem. I am operating on a Beetel 220bxi modem and a D-Link wireless router. To port forward, I followed the basic instructions and everything worked hunky dory - that is until now.

Recently the Airtel link was down and the support guy came in and made a bunch of changes and my port forwarding simply stopped working. Everything else is fine. I am not able to figure it out for the last 2 days and this is really bugging me and effecting the applications I use with port forwarding.

Here is the screenshot of change he made to my WAN page.

As you can see, the setting has changed from PPPoE to Static IP. I tried reverting back to the old setting but the internet no longer functions with PPPoE settings. This is what the old setting looked like.

I then connected directly to the Beetel Modem and at once noticed that DHCP was enabled. The first thing I did then was to disable it and reboot the modem and check if ppp was back on. It wasn't. I checked the WAN settings and the protocol doesnt show PPPoE. It shows Bridge mode and it says its up. I edited it, selected pppoe but it doesnt show up after completing, it shows bridge. I am unable to figure this out.

Some of my details:
IP Address of Modem: 192.168.1.1
IP Address of Router: 192.168.1.10
My Static IP Address: 192.168.1.131
Bandwidth: 512KBps

Any help would be much appreciated.

Cheers
MS

your router static ip seems to be 192.168.1.100??
