Thread: Wierd Modem Problem

I am using UTStarcom UT-300R2 modem.

Ever since I changed modem to bridge mode , if i revert to using PPPoE mode I am not able to access cetain websites (esp Microsoft.com , Download.com among others).

I confirmed that its not a OS problem.

Is there any work around for this.

firstly you could try using opendns server - 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220 .. if that doesnt work, then you could try changing MTU values to 1492 or 1454 etc

Hey thanks for the info.

It din't work even after this tweaking, so I am still left with the bridge option oly.

u didnt say what dns u used at first in pppoe mode.
the dns setting was specified there in the modem.
when using open DNS in pppoe, did u put it in the modem setting or in the lan settings.
It should be put in the modem settings.

No I put DNS oly in lan , i'll try with the modem and see.

Hmmm there's no dns option in my modem. Its a pretty old model, I bought it in 2005.
