If it is your friend's Modem/router/WIFI DNA A 211-I
test with your UserID/PW entered in the wan page
in ppp/PPPoE mode.
Test with Lan cable ONLY connected.
Then remove the LAN cable and test win WIFI mode.
If all ok , Delete your userID and PW from unit and return.

Start/Network LAN or WLAN
( presume you have set up a WLAN
Start/ Allprograms/Accessories/ Communications/
Wireless network Wizard. )
properties
Network settings
TCP/IP
properties
Select Obtain Ip address automatically.
Use Present DNS or
208.67.220.220 and 208.67.222.222
Apply Save.

Wifi icon will appear in TaSK bar.
If any problem select "Repair" option.
what is the error message ?

Hi,
Thank you for the help problem solved

However sometime when i connect the dsl line to the modem while the power is on ,the staus of LAN is local only.On restarting the modem I get internet access.is it a fault with the modem?

Action:
Make a back up of present router settings to say
C:/My Documents/ DNA router settings.

Presume you have an "Always On" connection.
1.
Confirm your UserId and PW are entered in the modem WAN page.

2.
DNA A211-I may need a software update.

Care to mention what error ?

1. Which mode do you use to connect ? PPPoE (Always ON) or Bridge (Dialer) ? PPPoE means you can connect to internet simply by switching ON the modem, in dialer mode, you need to click on " Connect " button in a dialer to connect to internet.

2. If in dialer mode, do you get any error code ?

3. What is the status of modem LEDs ? Mention each LED name and status (off / stable / blinking).

4. If in PPPoE, using this link and counter check your settings

5. If nothing works, reset the modem and reconfigure it and check.

6. Complain here and wait for BSNL to attend the issue
