Thread: Limited or no connectivity...nothing helping...

Hey guys...my local area connection is showing limited connectivity..i tried almost everything..from manually assigning IP and all to winsock fix....but nothings working...i use BSnl broadband on my computer via cable and with the same modem use wifi for my lappy and mobile..it worked fine[during the period when BSNL doubled the speed] then something happened..i tried reinstalling xp with no avail....when i manually assign IP address...it doesnt show the error but lan doesnt receive packets either..so net doesnt work....

Is anything to do with hardware...?
or something because of pirated windows version...?

Mention your modem/model make or pick the model from here.
http://www.indiabroadband.net/bsnl-b...ful-links.html (Bsnl: Useful links)
Item No 2 : link. Calcutta or MP link.

Para two:

Trying in Dialer mode or "always On " PPP/PPPoE mode.?
Postipconfig /all ( No edit ) for desktop and laptop.

Step 1 : Check ur LAN drivers in Device Manager , it shouldnt have yellow ! or ?

Mostly as u have reinstalled windows , it might not have installed correct ethernet adaptor drivers , install drivers from Motherboard cd and later if connected to internet , download latest drivers from ur motherboard/pc manufacturers website

Step 2 : If LAN drivers are fine then open command prompt and type the following : netsh int ip reset reset.txt[and now press enter]
then type :
netsh winsock reset[and now press enter]

restart pc
check ipconfig - if its still 169 ip then reset modem , try unplugging/replugging eth cable , uninstall firewall

@essbebe

and about step two...i did not get anything...do you want me to change the settings to factory default in the modem settings page...[that means no wifi only lan..]
please help...

Confirm at least desktop got connected
in LAN mode to Internet.
copy/paste from mine (old but same now )

India Broadband Forum

go to conrol panel > network connections. Right click on lan and then select the general tab. go to the properties of TCP/IP and enter ip address as 192.168.1.1 Press tab button subnet mask will be automatically entered.once again hit the tab to get the default gateway. if this doesn't solve the problem then try turning on internet connection sharing present under the the advanced tab. note that internet connection sharing is not available in lan options . you can find it under you bb properties

@Hackdown
Please reply in a long thread like this.

what is ipconfig/all....[I am new to all this..I am just 18...]

your reply should be based on this info.

Para two ;
@vineetdigga002

and about step two...i did not get anything...do you want me to change the settings to factory default in the modem settings page...[that means no wifi only lan..]

Follow settings in this web site ( link given earlier )
http://www.chennai.bsnl.co.in/BBS/WA...eless_security

If you are so sure the settings you had made earlier were correct , and only minor changes required, recheck with screen shots in above link. No RESET needed.
Save/back up your present settings to say
C:/My Documents/ sl2 141 no connection.

Then RESET to Factory settings.
(By the way, can you locate the reset access ????)
then follow website link given above.
Ensure
1. get connected to internet in LAN mode.

Hey Mate,
I got the same problem with my frnd in kolkata this morning...he kept calling customer care all morning to no avail....have registered a complaint.....i think its something 2 do with the lowering of speed...

It's very simple..

Click on local area connection

U will find local area connection status

Below there are two tabs Properties and Disable

Click on properties

At the bottom there are two options,

1. Show icon in notification area when connected
2. Notify me when this connection has limited or no connectivity

Just untick the second option.

There u have it. Ur problem is solved

@myjaanvi
Hope your suggestion works !
will wait for feedback.

]Solutions to the problem are varied,
however most of the solutions found on the web just mask the problem by
simply guiding the user through turning off this notification.
Now this solution may work great for systems that are showing a false positive error,
but what if the system genuinely has lost its local area connection or the connection is unstable, what then?

If you are so sure the settings you had made earlier were correct , and only minor changes required, recheck with screen shots in above link. No RESET needed.
Save/back up your present settings to say
C:/My Documents/ sl2 141 no connection.

Then RESET to Factory settings.

i followed each steps...my wifi is working fine from this bsnl modem...on both laptop and mobile...but the problem is on pc LAN is showing low connectivity sign..and its not receiving packets...sending at a low rate...now if i change the modem settings to Bridge mode[by default]...which would mean i would loose wifi connectivity...if further the LAN doesnt work..then..?[i will not be able to surf net any longer from anywhere]


can bad cable do this...?
can we get our modems changed from BSNL..without any cost....?

Try reinstalling lan card drivers

download and install malware bytes antimalware application and scan your pc.
