yes... exactly sperprash..

and hey..dudes....only way is.. try to write some script to auto swict off the main board switch.. that will work... heheheee.....

Actually I want to just disconnect and connect under pppoe mode (not bridge). That is say, I will disconnect at 10 PM and connect again at 2 AM so that there is no internet traffic thru my modem in the intervening period. Is it possible? If yes, pls share the script. Thanks.

Regards,
Karthik

you can not power off your modem between 10PM-2AM by using a script.what you can do is restart modem at 2:05AM & everything will be fine as far as billing is considered(make sure to match your system clock with some indian news channel like AAJ TAK).to stop the data transfer through modem in this period you have to disable the connection in modem itself which is very difficult to achieve by using some script.do not worry about data transfer just hibernate your computer between this period & use some software to automatically wake up computer at 2:00AM & schedule your modem reboot script to run at 2:05AM.aruncse30 has already posted the script for ut300r2u modem---

Download telnet script from RapidShare: 1-Click Webhosting

Extract it to a folder e.g. C:\tst using winzip/winrar or whatever you prefer. In the folder that you extracted tst10.exe, make a new notepad file (right click > New > text document). Name it reboot.txt. .Open it and type the following lines as mentioned in above post by aruncse30.Now open Control Panel and open Scheduled Tasks. Add Scheduled Task. Follow the instructions. Browse to the directory you extracted tst10.exe to, and open it. Give a name to this task (only for your convenience, can be anything) and choose how often you want the reboot (daily/weekly/what?). Choose the time you want reboot to occur. If you are setting this up on a particular WinXP user account, you may be asked for your XP user password. OK, when the task is created and appears in Scheduled Tasks, right click on it and click on Properties. On the Task tab you will see "Run", where the location of tst10.exe woold be present already. At the end of this line, outside the quotes, add /r:reboot.txt so it looks like
"C:\tst10.exe" /r:reboot.txt

hey.. u cannot disconnect and connect in pppoe mode.. however its possible in bridge mode..

in pppoe more u can jus restart the modem...

i have found that now onwards we dont need to restart our modem... bcoz.. bsnl started to have the data transfer in 15 mins interval... so if u schedule ur download after 2:15 and before 7:45... then u wont get extra usage... im not sure about this.. let me open a new thread regarding this issue.

meanwhile follow whitestar's suggestion
