Lower MTU value in router as well as NIC to 1452

amitkool21

i also faced the same problem 2 months back.......but it was resolved at its own.....i also tried the DNS servers which you are now using but it wont helped me......so i guess there is some problem in the BSNL service that they block the traffic from few services.......

I couldn't find MTU settings in my Siemens C2110 but there are VPI, VCI, Peak cell rate, Sustainable cell rate & maximum burst size . And, is NIC the network card in my motherboard? Should I use windows to configure it?

I have today switched to wifi setup (bsnl moden in pppoe and dlink 524 wifi router).

I have used dns servers:
61.1.96.69 and 61.1.96.71

I have observed that most of the time, it could not open google.co.in
It says page not found error.
It was not happenning with wired connection.
All other sites gets opened very fast, but google is always a problem with bsnl.

Any idea??? Should I change DNS servers????

amitkool21

i dont think changing DNS will help you coz as i said before i also tried many DNS when i faced the exact problem......but there is no result i get.......but one day it was automatically started to run all the sites........changing browsers/OS also wont help in that problem.......i tried all these things

Some of the websites are facing difficulty to open when the connection is configured as pppoe. Just wait for sometime, the problem should fix by itself.

amitkool21

it was stayed on my PC for 5 months (i dont think it was a short time period )and than suddenly it was gone .......i suggest him to ask to her local telephone exchange.......

I agree with you. For me this is going on since more than a month. I tried everything including the DNS changing, MTU changing, purchasing a new router (just in case it is something with router), but as of now nothing works.

At the time of writing this reply sites like Hotmail.com is not opening.

If someone can provide a solution to this issue (which I find many now are facing), then it will be a great help to all.

Are u able to ping / traceroute to the website mentioned?

aray

I didn't checked that this time, but earlier in similar situations I tried ping and the result was mixed. That means, at times while I was able to ping (earlier today) the site which was not opening in browser and at times I was unable to ping.

The latest status is I changed MTU to 1454 and now Hotmail is opening.

It looks like, if anyone wants to learn about Networking, this is the right connection .

Hi all,

I found some crazy behavior in my Dataone connection.

I am unable to connect to some websites from my office connection (dataone).
But I can access the same websites from my house & my friend's house too. (we both use Dataone). I am from Bangalore.

Then I connected my Airtel mobile with GPRS enabled to my computer in my office and I can access all the websites without any errors.

I contacted BSNL and found they are not at all competent. This is what happens when Govt. recruits people based on some quota instead of their merit.
They are worst. Their technical knowledge is zero. The call center is hopeless.

I met the AE and discussed the issue upon which he contacted some person and I had to explain everything from beginning and then he asked me to do some tracert, ping, nslookup. and since I was at the telephone exchange, I had to come back to my office and do all the test and after all this failed I went back to the exchange and again the AE connected me to the Maintenance fellows and as usual I had to explain everything from the beginning again.

Till now I have not got any response from them.

I suspect the problem is with the Gateway server. Our office modem connects to 117.x.x.x server, where as my house modem & my friend's modem connects to 59.x.x.x.

Other thing I observed is that the usage checking portal for 59.x.x.x is different than the portal for 117.x.x.x.

Those who are facing similar problem, please post your gateway IP address too so that we can identify the problem more precisely.

To find out the gateway IP - type tracert <some websit> in your command prompt. The IP address next to your modem IP is the Gateway IP address.

Somehow you cannot speak to the right person while dealing with BSNL.

Bye,
Prashanth

Try using the following Open DNS servers
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220

Try this

I came across a "404 Error not found" a while ago. Somehow it didn't want to go away.

And then I checked my host file!
Apparently I had the entry in there and the website changed one or two digits.

So: run down there to c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc and check your hostfile for an entry to your blocked site.

Yes ok now
Even in brdge mode also ok

What is MTU and where do I find it?

For last 3 weeks, I am having similar problem. All lights glow, but not able to show any web pages. Some times, in the task bar it shows web site found, keep on trying to display the page but never comes out. Some times, it is peace of cake. Very in consistent.

Following two methods are tried whenever customer support has been called. But it goes back to square one on the second day.

go to modem setup page http//192.168.1.1 and walk through all setups in Advanced / Wan settings and do a soft reboot. It worked once; but no luck later.

In the second advise, it was suggested to give static IP address of 192..168.1.10 and it worked for a while and gone now.

Today I could trace route sites like yahoo.com google.com cnn.com etc. but when you go to IE and type the same URL, it never comes out. I also tried open DNS but still same issue. Not sure where the problem is exactly.

cheers

TCP/IP optimizer from speedguide.net.
Download this application and follow advice.

Mention your modem model/make.
sometimes MTU/MSS values are changed in some modems .
specially dlink/linksys netgear etc.

3.DRTCP: How do I use it, & what are all these settings?
Not for VISTA OS.

I have both 117.xx series and 59.xx series (in two separate home).

The difference I have seen :

117.xx : It fails to connect few of the sites , due to some mismatch/wrong setup(in BSNL side ?) in MTU value. I had to change the MTU value manually to correct the problem. TO check broadband usage u need to login dataone.in site.

59.xx : IT doesn't have the above mentioned problem (is it newer /superior ?) . It allows u to connect the 2 famous sites to check the usage. There are many tools available to pull usage data from those sites to ur machine and show it in desktop without visiting the sites manually.
