Thread: Steps for changing pppoe into Bridge

Frds,
Im plannin to change my modem(UT200R2U) from pppoe into bridge.
Can u please tel me what are all the steps i need to follow?

>What should i change in http:\\192.168.1.1
>I have enabled DMZ for port forwarding. Should i disable it?
>How to create username and password?? (like dial up)
>which script should i use for 2-8AM connect and disconnect?

Im waiting for ur reply frds...

go to connection properties/settings & change connection type from pppoe to bridge in mode.
in bridge mode there is no need of port forwarding.in this mode all the traffic will come directly to your computer at all ports.
in windows go to control panel--network connections---click on"create new connection" in left window.select connect to net---set my connection manually---connect using broadband connection that requires username password---type isp name(bsnl)---enter your username/password----click on create shortcut on desktop & then finish.
now whenever you want to connect double click the icon(bsnl) on desktop 7 a window will come up for username/password.

for connect/disconnect use batch files.
paste these lines in notepad & save files as connect.bat & disconnect.bat

for disconnect.bat---

rasdial "bsnl" /disconnect

for connect

rasdial "bsnl" ******_***@bsnl.in password

where bsnl is the name of my connection(it depends on what name you give to your connection)
******_***@bsnl.in is my username
password is my password

schedule these .bat files to run at 1:55AM(disconnect) & 2:05AM(connect) then again run disconnect.bat at 7:55AM.
remember to save files as .bat as notepad saves files as .txt by default.when saving files select the file type as all files & then save the file as .bat.bat files are like .exe files & when you double click on them they execute like exe files.you can check your files by double clicking on connect.bat & disconnect.bat to see if they are working.

Very good post, whitestar.

whitestar.. thanks a lot for the detailed info...
i tried.. and i found that changing the option is not that simple in \\192.168.1.1

Check the attached screens one by one.

this is my existing pppoe setup.i clicked edit button then i got 2.jpg

2.jpg
what are all the options i need to select?? like VPI,VCI,Enable VLAN,Service category,Enable quality of service.. I only selected UBR with PCR then clicked next.. then it got the error.. 3.jpg

I have given peak cell rate as 1 and clicked next and got 4.jpg

Again i have two encapsulation mode here. I didnt change anything .. just selected optional box as "bridging" .. then clicked next.. got 5.jpg

This is the final screen.. Here i need to do save & reboot.. But i didnt do that.. waiting for u people...

you are doing something wrong.in my modem when i select UBR without PCR peak cell rate box is grayed out meaning there is no value to be entered for UBR without PCR in peak cell rate but when i select UBR with PCR value 1 is set in the peak cell rate box automatically.when you click on edit connection you should just change the network protocol from pppoe to bridge like in your 4th pic.

this is the last option you should try-----
disable the existing connection.then click on ADD & add a new connection.this time select bridge mode instead of pppoe with rest of the values same as pppoe connection.after that disable this connection(it should be named as bridge_0_35 somthing) & take screenshots of all the settings of both connections.then enable the bridge one & see if you can connect by dialling from windows.if unsuccessful again disable this bridge connection & re-enable your pppoe connection to connect & post here the error messages.

i am using UBR WITHOUT PCR and in encapsulation mode i am using LLC/SNAP-BRIDGING .. hope this helps

Excuse me, is there any advantage of changing the PPPoE to bridge mode?

in bridge mode there is no need of port forwarding.all the traffic comes directly to your computer.also no one can connect to internet by just turning on the modem.you have to connect from windows using your bsnl username/password.only disadvantages are that since all ports are open to get security you have to use a firewall in your computer & only 1 computer/laptop can connect to net at one time i.e.no simultaneous net connection on two or more systems.

Hey.. buddy.. i had changed it successfully.. but in bridge mode im getting disconnected for every 2 or 3 mins.. it really sucks.. so i wanted to go back to pppoe.. so i have changed bridge to pppoe... BUT NOW im getting problem.. previously when i was using pppoe.. if will automatically reconnect when the connection is lost.. but no.. its not reconnectins.. i need switch if off and on... is thr any settings we need to change???

when you click on connect to/double click "BSNL" icon you get a screen where your bsnl username & password is entered.at bottom select"properties"tab.then select"options"tab.under "redialling options"set redial attempts to,say,100.time between redial attempts 10 sec & idle time before hanging up never.tick the "redial if line is dropped" option too.as long as your modem is on alongwith computer these settings should take care of disconnection problems.

Thanks a lot dude.. but i want to stay with this pppoe... anothr reason is.. in pppoe im getting 230KBps.. whr as in bridge im getting only 160KBps...

that's strange!technically you should get better speeds in bridge mode as all ports are open.the only reason i can think of is due to frequent disconnections maybe your connections with seeders/peers is getting affected as modem dials faster than a computer.

well just change the connection type back to pppoe from bridge with remaining settings same.you will just have to enter your bsnl username/password in the modem(without @bsnl.in i think) & then click on connect.once you get connected modem will remember your bsnl username/password.
