India Broadband

bhutanigautam

Hi Guys,

I recently applied for a BSNL broadband connection and after 5 months i've finally got it!

My machine details are as follows:
Laptop AMD 1.6GHZ Microsoft XP and Microsoft VISTA

I have the modem mention in the title and am facing a few issues.

1. All sites do not open (icici, gmail, etc) - went through the posts here and configured the upload value and this helped.

2. All sits still do not open . When I use some other modem, i can access all sites; however, with mine all sites do not open.

3. DHCP is not working with VISTA.
it works perfectly fine with XP; however, with VISTA my modem's DHCP doesn't allot my laptop an ip address - i Have to manually configure it. If i use someother modem, it works fine. Hence, i think its something to do with my modem configuration or firmware.. am not sure..

Please help.
Thanks in advance.

i use 3 vista computers on my network and none of them hav a problem acquring an ip from the router via lan or wireless(not very stable). i think u have configured ur vista computer to use a manual ip. go to control panel-> networking and sharing-> on the side there will be manage network connections-> right click on ur network adapter and click properties-> and double click internet protocol version 4 and click on automatically acquire ip address and dns.

tell me if this works out

Hi, Thanks for the reply.
I have configured my vista to use a static add on purpose because it used to take some garbage ip address automatically while connecting to my modem.

The funny part is it accquires the wrong ip address automatically only while connecting to my modem; with others, it works perfectly fine ..

In addition, can you open all the sites?

my p2p softwares had problems before so i disabled my routers firewall and spi and i dont have problems now!

I'm having the same problem since last 20 days - ever since i bought an HCL notebook with Vista OS. After finally getting no results from BSNL (At Ahmeabad, they say the've never had a Vista OS customer), I finally took HCL's help. We tried many permutations at their office. Results were
1) Vista can connect to other non BSNL modems by wireless
2) Other notebooks with XP can connect to BSNL modem by wireless

leaving me concluding that vista and utstarcom WA3002-g1 are not compatible. (N), are you able to access internet by wireless on Vista ? I could communicate with other network members, as the wireless connects locally, but I cannot access the web.

my notebook is connected via wireless and my pc's are connected using a second router via ethernet (cant figure out how to make the wa3002-g1 to dial the pppoe).
other than frequent disconnections when i dial pppoe from the notebook i have no problems(may b sumthing rong with ur router's firmware?)
P.S:my notebook runs vista ultimate and my pc's dual boot vista home premium and xp (the frequent disconnections do not occur when i use xp)

Had the same issue.Try the kb article
Windows Vista cannot obtain an IP address from certain routers or from certain non-Microsoft DHCP servers
It worked for me the above article and disabling ipv6
