| Platinum Member | In the simplest layman's terms: A bridge is - well just like a bridge in real life - a connection between two points separated by a crevice. When you configure your router as a bridge, the connection is established from within your dialer application from Windows (or Mac). The dialer application contacts the bridge, passes on the user-id and password (in case of PPPoE) and then requests a connection to the internet. The bridge passes on the information to the ISP (BSNL in this case) and then tries to establish a connection. Once the connection is established, you are on the internet. The thing to remember is that the bridge connection does not store details about your user-id/password, etc.. On the other hand when the router is configured as a PPPoE connection, the connection is established by the router itself. As soon as the router is switched on, it contacts the ISP and establishes a connection immediately. As long as the router has power, the internet connection is always on; which is not the case with a standalone bridge. The router can be used as a bridge or PPPoE connector so long as you have wired connections. But when you wish to add a wireless router, then one of the routers must be configured as a bridge. In case of wireless router, it is better to have the BSNL router as a bridge.

Rep Power: 0 | hi all, bsnl broadband configuration with ZTE ASDL Model is working well with bridgeing the modem and setting up dial up connection suing PPPoE on windows vista. but the problem is that how can i bridge the modem and establish the PPPoE connection on Ubuntu? It worked well when modem is configured on windows and changed the os to ubuntu and with sudo pppoeconf comand. but only few sites were opening. how can i solve this problem? any one recently installed bsnl broadband on ubuntu??? |

Rep Power: 0 | sudo pppoeconf is working well for me on Ubuntu with pon and poff. What do you mean by only a few sites are opening? As I understand, it should it either work entirely or not at all. It might be a problem with your DNS server |

| Platinum Member | in bridge mode it doesn't matter if your modem is on while you connect at 2:05AM.in pppoe mode though it is must to restart the modem at 2:05AM.my clock is matched to "AAJ TAK"tv news channel & i connect exactly at 2:06AM & in bsnl portal too my time is very near to that.maybe your friends meant that do not start downloading at 2:01AM or 2:02AM.to be on safe side connect at 2:06AM after matching your system clock with the channel i mentioned.also its always better if you disconnect before 2:00AM or keep at least a gap of 2 min between disconnecting & connecting.this is to make sure that the IP you get after connecting is different from the one before.i think this also matters. |

| Platinum Member | this procedure of yours is OK assuming you are using bridge mode in which you use windows to connect to net not the pppoe mode in which you can connect by just turning on the modem. |

Rep Power: 2 | thank you.. me hoping the same.. but we cannot trust their portal.. i have to wait and see my bill.. what else procedure i can add as an additional security.. i am over cautious because i am already billed an excess of 2255 in my last bill.. till now i am getting rightly in my portal.. |

| Platinum Member | according to me if the timing of download is,say,2:05AM in bsnl portal then you won't get billed for that.in your last bill did you get billed for such downloads which starts at 2:05AM according to bsnl portal.if yes then you didn't need to pay for that.just get the printout of your usage & you could show it as a proof for bill correction. |
