Thread: BSNL BROADBAND BUSINESS 4000 PLAN with static ip address

I want to take BSNL BROADBAND BUSINESS 4000 PLAN WITH ONE STATIC IP ADREESS for my organisation
What type of static ip address they provide ? is it a public ip.
what will be the DNS server entry for this.
i want this connection to be used by other users of the organisation.
i want to set this connection as permanent on and use this connection from our ethernet.
how to install this type of connection i.e with static ip and always on.
need help from any one who or using this type or have knowledge without using it ? another query i how to secure our network users from virus which or on a private network and will use it.
thanks.

yes static ip will not change, it will be a public ip.. so you can access your pc from anywhere anytime with the same ip , it will never change..abt the DNS server mostly it will be some bsnl DNS servers which aint that good they have their downtimes etc etc, i suggest you change it to opendns servers.for always on and for a network you have to use the ppoe mode, there again after you get your connection please provide your modem model no and we should be able to guide you.
How to secure your network users from virus..well one way to totally eliminate it is linux..im a linux user so i can tell that confidently.. but i guess its not possible for enterprise organisations to use it due to lack of compatibility(say with office or whatever)..you can secure your network by installing Antivirus in all pcs and regularly updating it..also try making network shares read only .. and if necessary then make sure password protected..keep a seperate server which acts as gateway cum firewall..block all ports..block websites which contain viruses.. you can do that with a gateway..

thanks.i am also a linux users.i am using fedora and red hat in my organisation.can u provide me step by step procedue of setting business 4000 on fedora core linux server.how to install pppoe on linux..
mu plan is to install two netcard on linux server for which one will be connected to bsnl.which will have static ip .and other to my private network..
woth some like 172.16.12.1 with subnet mask 255.255.0.0.

the i will make other linux server which will have private ip 172.16.12.2/16 AND WILL have proxy installed.
this will have gateway 172.16.12.1.
user will access internet from 172.16.12.2.
please tell whether this will work or not ?
also tell the procedure of installing on linux this plan with simense modem(type-2 of bsnl) with always on connection.

hey glad to know u use linux...i suggest you setup the ppoe mode in the modem itself.. connecting via fedora using pppoe aint that great as they dont have support for multiple profiles etc etc.. your setup seems cool.. although i dont think you require a proxy.. any specific reason for it?and the idea of the ICS gateway too is good.. you need to build a strong server .. regarding the seimens there is nothing much needed to do in linux.. just set it to Automatic configuration under System->administration->Network

thanks.i want to deploy access control list that why want to use proxy..
also other restriction i have to do,,
once again i shall request pl. provide me step by step procedue for installing on fedora linux foe business 4000 plan with static ip address :

one server : 2 netcard
1. first netcard static ip given by bsnl e.g. 192.167.1.4 will be connected to
simense modem ethernet port
2. second netcard will have our private network ip 172.16.12.1/16

seond server which will have proxy server insatlled will have ip 172.16.16.12.2/16 and gateway as 172.16.12.1 .

why not combine the role of the first and second server into one server. it will cut down on costs and will be more easier to administrate.Setup everything in one box itself.and are you going to use the server version?.. for the 4000 business plan as i said earlier all the settings have to be done in the modem..you should request bsnl for the static ip , there is nothing you need to do for that..nothing special as such needs to be done in the server..only ICS.. for ICS there are many ways.. there are scripts as well as firewalls with built in functionality...
are you also planning on staging servers and backup servers?i'm not sure as to how large and important your organization is..
