Hi everyone,
I would like to setup my machine for night usage hours of BSNL.
I got UT-300R2U modem provided which i have configured in bridge mode and i used WGR614 Netgear wireless router for wireless .....which is in PPPoE mode.


I would like to setup my laptop for starting the automatic downloads on the Bittorrent software during the night free hours.

Well long when i was looking at the posts of this forum i had found regarding some scripting being done for all this purpose ..but unfortunately i could not find that thread when i searched ......

So please tell me what are the various options that i can use to do this?

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

for disconnect.bat---
for connect
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.

well you can use whitestar's method if you change your netgear to bridged mode .. then you will have to dial whenever you want to connect to the net.. and the above procedure will do so automatically

Ya got it ...but a small question as superprash said ......i will have to put netgear in bridge mode.......
I have never done that ..i mean never tried that ...lets see .
But is this ok :

UT-300R2U : in bridge mode with DHCP enabled
WGR614 : in bridge mode with DHCP enabled
and i use a dialer on the laptop ?
Will this work?

shriniketsarkar

Well is there any other medium by which i can do it ..i mean keeping modem in bridge mode and netgear in pppoe mode and still i can schedule bittorrent ?

whitestar_999

i don't have this setup of a router after modem but i will try to find out.if in the meantime superprash2003 can suggest a way then all the better.

shriniketsarkar

ok lets see ...even i will try it out ...today ......

superprash2003

yes you can do that..mostly all netgear routers have this option "Does Your Internet Connection Require A Login? ." in the BASIC SETTINGS.. just set it to NO.. and use the dialer..
if you dont want to do the dialing etc.. you can keep the netgear in ppoe mode and use a telnet script to reboot the modem instead..
the choice is yours.. since whitestar has provided the solution already.. you are just 1 step away from it.. just disable ppoe in netgear

shriniketsarkar

Ok will have to try that cos i have never written telnet scripts .......batch files i have made .......

shriniketsarkar

hey guys i tried that ...putting my netgear in bridge mode ...as u said superprash ....by switching it to NO.
And using the dialer to dial from the computer ...it does not dial says that
Error : remote server did not respond .....

superprash2003

try connecting the bsnl modem directly to the computer and then using the connection.. just to see if the dialer works

shriniketsarkar

Ya i tried that .....it works .....

superprash2003

you should connect the cable from bsnl modem to LAN port of the netgear not WAN port

shriniketsarkar

U mean from the BSNL modem to the NEtgear ....4 LAN port ?
cos i had connected to the internet port of the netgear router ....?

superprash2003

yes to the 4LAN port not to the internet port

shriniketsarkar

hey one more question do u know the commands to enable and disable Intel Wireless PROset?
So that i can put those in batch file and even then all will work?

superprash2003

i am not aware of that command..hopefully somebody else would help you with that.. any reason for enabling and disabling?

shriniketsarkar

i thought that i will keep netgear in PPPoE mode so that the connection will always remain on and then i will schedule that command for turning the wireless adapter on and off as required .....
and then that bittorrent will start and stop when ever it receiver the internet connection......
What do u think will it be ok?

superprash2003

no.. that wont do.. cause your connection has to be disconnected and reconnected at 2:15am and 7:45 am respectively..

superprash2003

otherwise you will be charged
