1. i live in panipat karnal border.i pay my bsnl bill in karnal office but whenever i have any problem i call panipat customer service and they rectify my problem.i even once got my plan changed from the panipat customer service office.my question is where is my ISP server located?is it in karnal or panipat and is there any way to find out where it is located.i also get 30-32 kbps UP and down with my 750 UL connection so am sure i am pretty close to the server.

2.there is a shop at about 150 mtrs from my house.it has a home 250 connection.i found out that sometimes when my connection is disconnected,it is working fine in the shop,and other times when my connection is working,the shop connection is now working.how is it possible when it is located so close to my house?

3.what is the difference between the Ip address 59.xx.xx.xx and 117.xx.xx.xx? i have a 59.xx.xx.xx IP address.i have heard there are IPs starting with 117 but never have come across one.is there some difference in technology ?are the IPs starting with 117 static?

4.are all BSNL broadband connections port binded? i can connect with my friend's ID from my telephone line but he can't connect with my ID from his telephone line.my question is why not port bind all accounts if it can prevent hacking or illigal usage?

5.if i access some sites blocked by the ISP with a proxy server,is it possible for my ISP or the government to track what site i am accessing?dont worry i am not accessing porn sites with proxy,i just want to know for the sake of knowledge.

6.i sometimes for "PURE FUN" use a software named adnanced ip scanner to scan open IPs starting with address 59.xx.xx.xx .most of the time the scanned IPs are BSNL but in rare cases i come across IPs starting with 59..... from MTNL bol.net.how is it possible for a MTNL connection to get scanned by a BSNL connection?

7.while using utorrent,is it possible to send a message to any seed or peer's IP address to which i am connected?i have heard there are softwares available that advertising companies use to send ADs directly to IP addresses but never came across one.

BSNL has two servers NIB - I IP starts with 59.xx.xx.xx. NIB - II IP starts with 117.xx.xx.xx. Most connections with IP 117.xx.xx are port binded. You can use other connections because your connection is not port binded. It is not a good thing to have. Make a port binding request to BSNL.

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.
