Thread: How to change password and check Usage in BSNL BB in both i.e. P2.2 and P3

Eagerly waiting for the result of yr Pwd Change effort. Were you able to change the pwd (in the recent 2-3 days) - to a pwd different from what they gave you as their "Standard Reset Pwd" ?

Thanks for 192.168.1.2 with USB, and the suggestion to apply for IPTV.

But, any reason, why I am not able to browse with the new Modem ??

...

Just tried it now. Am getting an invalid certificate error in IE 7.

“cool_techie_tvm” and others,

For the past 4 days, our phone lines were down, and hence the delay.

I wish to clarify / correct / qualify my earlier stmt wrt being unable to browse the Internet with the new Modem.

There are 2 modes of Internet connections at my place – one is the Direct connection from PC to the BSNL’s ADSL Router, and another is via the Netgear’s W/lees Router ie, Internet Connection Pt -> ADSL Router -> W/less Router -> PC.

When I said that Internet connection was not possible while using the 2nd Modem, it was when using the via W/less path, and that too when the DNS Server Addr was kept “floating” ie, on “Auto-Assign”.

When using the Direct Internet Connection Pt -> ADSL Router -> PC path, it is possible to connect to the Net with both floating DNS as well as “fixed” DNS Addrs.

When using the via W/less path ie, Internet Connection Pt -> ADSL Router -> W/less Router -> PC path, it is still possible to connect to the Net, but only when you “fix” the DNS Addrs to 61.1.96.69 & 61.1.96.71 ie, the same as is configured in the W/less Router.

*************

However, the Pwd problem still persists, irrespective of the Modem used ie, I am still not able to change my Pwd in :
dataone.in/ -> “Dataone Account Administration” at the bottom -> 10.240.48.195/webLogin.jsp

It still simply hangs when you click on OK after supplying the Old and the New Pwds – even in the Direct Internet Connection Pt -> ADSL Router -> PC mode (ie, even without via the W/less Router).

Even as it hangs as above, I have tried parallelly changing the Pwd in the ADSL Page also ie, in 192.168.1.1 (Direct Internet Connection Pt -> ADSL Router -> PC mode), but Internet connection itself gets lost if you change the Pwd to anything other than the Original Pwd given by BSNL at the installation stage 4 yrs back.

So, all this seems to confirm the “general loose impression” that I could infer from the informal discs with BSNL staff that they ALL too know that of late, Pwd change is not possible in P2.2 networks ? – perhaps they have made some S/W corrections, and forgot to do Regression Tests ! ?

That is why, I would like to request more P2.2 Network members to try changing their pwds, and let us know if they were successful or not.
TIA for this.

PS : Observation :
When the DNS is fixed at 61.1.96.69 & 61.1.96.71, the Def G/w is seen as : 59.x.y.z for eg, 59.92.160.1

When the DNS is kept floating ie, “Auto-Assign”, the DNS is auto-taken as : 218.248.240.181 and 218.248.255.177, and the Def G/w is seen as : 59.96.200.1
In this floating DNS mode, only the Direct Internet Connection Pt -> ADSL Router -> PC mode works, NOT the via-W/less Router : Internet Connection Pt -> ADSL Router -> W/less Router -> PC path.

Can “cool_techie_tvm” and other members now give their comments - after the above qualifying clarifications - on why I am not able to change the pwd ?
TIA

Oh, this is another vagary here !, but I didn't get this error - so far.

??

I had contacted the internet exchange and expressed my concerns over unable to change the password. But they said that the portal is working fine and that i need not worry about misuse because all the accounts are port bound.

So, finally, it turns out that you too, and probably ALL P2.2 Net members cannot change their Pwd ! ?

If true, it is really pathetic that the Govt staff is so technically inefficient.
It is similar to what one lazy inefficient, unskilled, ill-educated Govt staff from BSNL asked : "Why do you need to change the pwd ?"

****************

But "cool_techie_tvm", and other P2.2 members,

How can we accept this reasoning that "the portal is working fine ... "

If you know some one higher up in the BSNL (Govt Depts work only if / where you know someone), can you request them to do something, or else ask them to make the transition to P3 Net easier atleast for those who express such a desire ?
If you succeed in convincing them, pl let us know the format / template of such a request letter / form. TIA.

BTW, which person / tel no / dept / place did you contact in the "the internet exchange" ?

Does anyone know the tel no of the Tech Dept at "NIB" in Bangalore (probably their HQ in Ulsoor ?) ?

its indeed a pain to change the password.. a friend of mine had done that , and he had no connectivity for 3 weeks after which bsnl resetted his password!!
