Prash,

Fianally I able to connect to internet thru wireless. One problem was the wifi router wasnt getting reset, even I applied. I happen to read that apply reset at the at time booting. That helps me to reset the router and I reconfigured everything in router.

But now I have to set up security also. But I dont remember whats the ip set for router. How can I find that. Once I am able to access the config page, I know how to do that.

Thanks a lot for all the helps

if you enabled DHCP in your router then type ipconfig in your command prompt and you should find a gateway ip address.. that would be your router ip address..

DHCP is enabled in BSNL modem only. I have disabled DHCP in wifi router. Thats what you suggested me to do. DHCP in modem is set as 192.168.1.3 - 192.168.1.10

oh.. in that case your router is just like a wifi hub.have you tried 192.168.1.100?? that maybe your router's ip

Now the wfi connection is, modem is connected to one of the LAN ports of wifi router. Connect another LAN port of wifi router to laptop and try out it in browser , is that what you are suggesting!

no i was just telling you the role played by the wifi router currently in your network. .you should be able to access your wifi router from your laptop wirelessly.. did you try 192.168.1.100 ?

Hi Prash,

First off, thanks for the excellent doc. Thanks to it, I was at least able to troubleshoot a bit more, and got a better understanding of how this works. But I am still not able to fully resolve.

I'll walk through the steps first, so maybe you can help identify exact trouble spot.

1) In the UT-300R2U wizard, if I set 'PPPoE/PPPoA' and enter the uid/pwd (i.e. bypassing WRT54G), then I am able to connect fine.

That tells me that the uid/pwd are ok (I wasn't even sure about this earlier).

2) Next, I set 'Bridge Mode' in the UT-300R2U wizard, and the dial-up/broadband Internet connection as described in step 2 of your doc.

Once I start this connection, I am able to connect to the internet. So far, so good.

3) Once I complete step 3, I am not able to connect to the internet.

In the WRT54G, for 'Local IP Address', I tried both 192.168.1.1 and 192.168.2.1. For 'Starting IP address', I set it to '100'

I get the IP address I expect (either 192.168.1.100 or 192.168.2.100, depending on 'Local IP Address' specified). But not getting a connection to the internet.

In true Windows spirit, I tried restarting everything - UT-300R2U, WRT54G and my comp. No luck.

Any idea what's going on?

4) I assume after setting up WRT54G as described in step 3, there is no need for the dial-up/Broadband connection created in step (2). Right?

TIA,
Prakash

P.S:
I saw a different suggestion in one of your posts. I'll probably try that next i.e. setting PPPoE on BSNL modem, turning on DHCP on it, disabling DHCP in WRT54G etc.
