Rep Power: 2  |  Online after three days, was BSNL down? (A) Hi, I have finally been able to get online now on Monday the 24th; the last time I surfed the net was on Friday, after that, on Saturday and Sunday, the connection was down; I was not able to download anything on Saturday, Sunday, and Monday morning (I have the 500 rs connection). Did anyone else face this problem? I live in Gandhinagar, Gujarat. Was the internet down all over the BSNL network or what? Today when I went to the BSNL office, the guy there gave me a number, the IP address or something, and he said that it has changed, that is why I cannot connect. I changed the IP number (the number he gave was 218.248.240.208), and now I am finally online. Doesn't BSNL inform people when they change these numbers? (B) And what are these numbers? IP address is your identification, but what is subnet mask, and default gateway and dns servers? (C) The strange thing is that these three days, no website would open, Utorrent didn't download anything, but when I started Limewire, which has somehow never worked on my computer, it started, and worked fully while everything else was down. How can you explain one software connecting to the internet while nothing else works? And yes, the site number which takes you to the modem settings, where you change your BSNL password, was working perfectly, that was the only page that would open. (D) I download about 1 GB to 1.5 GB every morning; for three days I have not been able to download anything. Is BSNL purposely doing this to restrict my downloads? Is there any rule that says that you can download only thirty or forty GBs every month? Last edited by Outlander; 03-24-08 at 07:35 PM. Reason: Forgot to mention the point about Limewire |

Rep Power: 5 |  its mostly a DNS problem.. the guy gave you a new DNS ip. of bsnl ofcourse.. bsnl DNS servers aint that great from my experience.. it was very slow and down most of the time.. atleast few years back.. i have been using opendns since years now.. they are fast and more secure.. always UP no downtimes..You could use opendns by changing that 218.x.x. ip given by that bsnl guy to 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220 |
