Thread: help plzzzzz

hi guys i want to configure MT841 in fedora 6 please help me thorough usb.

need drivers and how to install them

^ if you have modem's cd with you - it should be
having linux drivers for usb and installation details
for redhat linux . that should help .
if you donot have the modem's cd contact BSNL
for a copy of it .

why you need USB drivers ? we suggest to use
ethernet connection wherever it is possible .

problem is i am not having lan card.

and i am facing some problems with the dependencies

Hello,

This is the step by step prodcedure on how to configure BSNL Type IV (MT841) modem for autodial and wireless setup.

First do not insert the WLAN card in to your modem. connect it with supplied LAN cabel or via usb.

Go to your computer eathernet connection setup and change the ip of your eathernet card to the following.

IP Address : 192.168.1.2
Subnet Mask : 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway : 192.168.1.1

Now in you browser window open up the configuration screen of MT841
in the left side you see the wizard from basic drop down list select connections. Left side you see PVC0 to PVC6 now you only need to change the value of PVC0 to dial up the connection automatically with PPPoE setup. but some how you can not edit the connection of PVC0 by clicking the note icon on the configuration screen. it only let you change the settings for wich the PVC is created and let you delete it. so you need to delete all the PVC in the list. Stat from PVC6 press notes icon and delete.

Do the same process for PVC6 to PVC2 and PVC0 do not delete PVC1 untill you create new PVC.

now press the new button and create new PVC specify following parametere in the PVC

WAN Type : PPPoE
VPI/VCI : 0/35
Encapsulation : LLC
Default Route : Enable
User Name : <Your User Name>
Password : <your password >
use DNS : Enable

now click on apply. It will show new PVC and it display it as PVC1 now delete PVC0 from the list and start create remaining PVC for your connection by pressing new.

All PVC shoud have following property.

Wan Type : Bridge
Encapsulatino : LLC

and for VPI/VCI follo this steps

PVC1 : 8 /35
PVC2 : 0 /100
PVC3 : 0 /32
PVC4 : 8 /81
PVC5 : 8 / 32
PVC6 : 14 / 24

now you have created all the PVC's with you dialer configured at PVC1

go to advanced select Firewall and select enable.
go to DNS selct Ebable and put following value in the dns

Primary DNS : 61.1.96.69
Secondry DNS : 61.1.96.71

save your change and reboot the router.

After reboot you should be automatically connect to the internet without dialing PPPoE dialer from the computer. now turn off the router and connect the WLAN Card to the router and disconnect the LAN cabel from the modem and computer. after you see the WLAN light on in the router stat your WIFI connection from computer or modem to search for availabe network and you will be connected to the net.

Regards,

^ @ sandrarocks , the poster of this thread
requires help for configuring the modem on Fedora
Linux with USB connection . moreover , above PPPoE
configuration is also available elsewhere on this forums .

@ neelendhar , I'd suggest to buy a LAN card
with Linux drivers for your system . A good quality LAN
card is available for just about Rs 350/- . And you may
post the actual problem here ( what exactly is troubling
in using the provided Linux drivers )

@mmm did u configured it in fedora core 6.

@ Neelendhar , I hope that you have seen the replies
on other community ( Link ) .
I have not configured it on Fedora 6 . I have seen topics
similar to your query on different community forums ...

@mmm

yeah the topic was posted my me itself.

"mmm" i am having guide for that but i was unable to install the drivers if u want i will send u the guide given by them i followed but getting some errors

let me know which linux u r using ....
then let us discus here

I have configured MT841 thru LAN card for
Ubuntu Linux [for a friend last year at a distant
place] . I didnt configure it thru USB . However
I see that you have got good responses on the
other community forums . if you solve it , pls post
back the solution here sothat it might help others .

and it will be nice if you could upload
the guide & give its link here .

ok here is the guide or the text file given by the BSNL with drivers

thanks guys, thats what i was also looking for.. same problem.. the forums really has cool knwoledge stuff
