change ur modem to bridge mode doing this steps

2. Enter U/N & Pwd which is Admin in both cases.
3. go to interface setup change the pppoe to bridge
4. go to maintenance and restart ur modem

5.
Change your IP properties
network connections-->right click on LAN --->Internet protocol (TCP/IP)properties--->General --->select Use the following IP address

Fill the following :

IP address :192.168.1.1 or 192.168.1.2 or 192.168.1.3 or 192.168.1.4 ....
Subnet mask :255.255.255.0
Default gateway:192.168.1.5

Use the following DNS server addresses

Prefered DNS server :218.248.255.145
Alternate DNS server :61.1.96.69









(in which you dial the connection from windows using your bsnl username/password)then see here---

for connect/disconnect use batch files.
paste these lines in notepad & save files as connect.bat & disconnect.bat

for disconnect.bat---
rasdial "bsnl" /disconnect
for connect
rasdial "bsnl" ******_***@bsnl.in password
where bsnl is the name of my connection(it depends on what name you give to your connection)
******_***@bsnl.in is my username
password is my password

use windows task scheduler to schedule these .bat files to run at 1:55AM(disconnect) & 2:05AM(connect) then again run disconnect.bat at 7:55AM.
remember to save files as .bat as notepad saves files as .txt by default.when saving files select the file type as all files & then save the file as .bat.bat files are like .exe files & when you double click on them they execute like exe files.you can check your files by double clicking on connect.bat & disconnect.bat to see if they are working.
