Thread: How to connect MT882 to PC thru LAN cable

Hi ! Could anyone outline the full step-wise procedure on how to connect a Huawei BSNL modem MT882 to the pc thru the LAN cable ? I get the power and and link lights on the modem but i dont get the LAN light on. Nor do i see any connection symbol on the pc.

If you are using "Dialup" mode
do you get any error message ?
can you access the modem pages for checkup ?

Post the following data from
Start RUN type cmd type ipconfig /all

see this website for settings for Mt880 similar.
New Page 1

Check in Diagnostics page and if no connection
open Summary page and click the "NOTE" icon against
connection 0_35. and wait for a minute .

I'm using BSNL broadband. I dont get any error messages. Its just that the light on LAN doesnt come on the modem and i cant access 192.168.1.1

Your PM's. Get connected with MT882.
in 'Always On " mode.
Then remove Rj45 from computer end and connect to WAN port of WRT100 etc.

i have a feeling something is wrong with your cable , or your LAN adapter is disabled , go to control panel->network connections->and check to see if Local Area Connection is ENABLED .. Usually connecting your pc's LAN port to whatever LAN port of your router should make the LAN light glow...check your LAN cables

@essbebe - i've done as u have asked me to. but it still doenst work.

@superprash2003 - i went and picked up a new cable too. tried it with it too. didnt work. i have a 945 intel motherboard. do u think i need a seperate LAN card ?

START /Network LAN Properties
In the page on top your ethernet card is shown.
Check "configure"

What Device status shows?

Is it enabled ?

It says
Intel(R) PRO/100 VE Network Connection
Device Type - Network Adapters
Manufacturer - Intel
Location - PCI bus 6, device 8, function 0
Device Status - This device is working properly

It is enabled. But it says network cable unplugged and theres a crossmark adjacent to the 2 monitor icon.

We are anxious, that you do not loose
Internet connection.

Confirm how you surf the internet now ?

with your system/mt882 or from cyber cafe etc ?
Para two: if from own system
Can you access the Modem ' menu pages ?

your connection is automatic
or
you have to enter your userId and PW ? on a "Dialer"

Start RUN type cmd type ipconfig /all
give details here.

indeed a very strange issue. have you tried connecting it to all 4 ports of the router , its very hard to say that the LAN card is gone , if there is anyway you could connect it to another modem/pc and check, after which if it still shows the disconnected sign , then its mostly your LAN card..

I am using my net by connecting my MT882 to my pc thru the USB cable. What are modem menu pages ? I use a dialer.



@superprash2003 - i've tried all the 4 ports. i even get the light on the port i connect to on the router...but not on the modem.

After doing this post screen shot as in post no 11.

okay. so u want me to take the USB connection out, connect the modem and pc with ethernet cable and try the above config ?

Yes.
Do it after 1030 AM and before 3 PM.
( Astrologically bad time earlier and later today!)

No. Just for fun !
I had to see the calender for
"Yama Gandam " and "Raghu kalam " !!!!
We blame the planets and stars if something goes bad !!!!

which router is it?

mate ! got the fault. the LAN port on the bsnl modem is faulty. had to hold the ethernet cable down hard and it worked. and the bsnl ppl said they couldnt replace it coz its out of warranty. apologise for the trouble ppl.

oh.good you found out the problem..
