Thread: Unable to Access Yahoo Mail n Messenger

Hi Guys Yesterday i got my BSNL DataOne BroadBand Connection
Bt i am unable to access any of the yahoo sites i.e yahoo mail and yahoo messenger what should i do ??

My Plan is 500 Home
My Modem Type is ADSL 2+ (Modem /Router) by UTSTARCOM

I also want to know how can i set my PPPoE Settings

we need to know your modem number ; whether it has a
LAN/Ethernet connection or only a USB connection ; your
OS ; DNS entries ; and your location to suggest a solution .

If you are not able to open a particular site..........

Than please try with other browser...like mozila or opera.

My OS is XP Professional SP2 and i live in Hyderabad
My plan is 500 night unlimited and my modem is ADSL white colored modem with dataone written at the top of the modem

I also wanted to know if XP automatically sets the PPPo3 settings or i manually need to set it

I am getting disconneted every 2 mins its sayin some WAN error ... and the the redial option is coming ....

Bt when i m downloadin i am gettin a very good speed i am gettin download speeds upto 270 using torrents and upto 250 when i am downloading something using download accelerator........

I hav Windows firewall ON in my System so bcz of that yahoo sites are blocked or is it a problem with my local bsnl exchange because except yahoo sites i am able to open all other sites.I also tried to open yahoo sites in IE7 with cokkies n java script as enabled bt still i am gettin the same problem so help me out guyyss

I am using internet through LAN CARD i am not using USB

Using the same modem (UTSTARCOM UT300R2U ADSL 2+Modem) in kerala......i can open my inbox in Yahoo mail and view mails but cannot reply or send messages.......hotmail never opens at all but everything is fine with gmail.......

Somebody tell me how to resolve this problem......i hav already tried changing the DNS addresses, any other things to be tried???

The MTU Value needs to be changed.

Open the Configuration page>>>>go to the Setup>>>

Select BSNL>>>>>change the MTU value from 1492 to 1452>>>apply

Go to tools>>>>system Commands>>>>click save all.

I have UTStarCOM Type II modem and I have the same problem of not able to browse sites like hotmail, download.com, etc. I have tried changing the MTU value but no luck :-(

Occasionally we do get Yahoo, MSN, Hotmail, gMail, issues on BSNL. They go away mysteriously. Try the following options:

- Leave the MTU to 1492
- Set the DNS settings in modem to openDNS
- Clear the cache and cookies

Beyond that it is just PnP (plug and pray) ...

My modem is
UTSTARCOM
WA 3002-g1

had difficulty accessing yahoo mail.
I chanegd the DNS servers in the Modem (not on my computer) to use open DNS servers and now it works !!

Thanks

Hi i have the same problem, but which open dns server IP address did u used. please mail me the details to pelagiccod at yahoo dot com. i tried changing the DNS servers as well, but no use . Please help

Open DNS servers

Primary: 208.67.222.222
Secondary: 208.67.220.220

Hi just, i tried using the above IPs in my modem config page as well as in my adpater config, but still i cant access sites like microsoft, msn.

If your modem is configured in PPPoE mode, the OpenDNS server settings must be entered in your modem's DNS settings page/options.

If you are using bridge mode, you must set your TCP/IP propoerties as follows (assuming that the modem's IP address is 192.168.1.1):

Use the following IP address: This radio button must be selected.
IP Address: 192.168.1.10
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway: 192.168.1.1

Use the following DNS server address: This radio button must be selected.
Preferred DNS Server: 208.67.222.222
Alternate DNS Server: 208.67.220.220

Check this guide: How to set TCP/IP settings

hi, i did set the DNS server IP addresses in modem configuration alone. But no use, msn & microsoft sites cant be accessed. however the moment i set modem to bridge mode, all the sites work.
