India Broadband

Hi,

First of all I would like to thank the forum for the knowledge sharing platfom that has been created which is really far better than the Official support of

BSNL. I am facing a problem which I have seen. that most of the users are facing .This will be long thread so I request my friends to be patient with it. I

have also seen that there are different solutions been placed here. but i wish that is a general and final one to this .


I have a Nokia Siemens C2110 . My Desktop PC is and old one ,Pentuim III -1.2 GHZ , 256 MB RAM ,win xp pro with sp2 and all the nescessary softwares are

loaded. The BSNL officials just came in one , simply plugged in the modem , handed me over the CD and gone.
I opened the CD , there were 2 folders , 1) c2110 and 2) sl2_114 .

It is to be mentioned that I have not yet recieved my USER ID / Password. I just want to install the modem properly , check it thoroughly for all the

problems that can come in the way keep it ready so that the moment i recieve my User ID /PWD ( Even this is an issue with BSNL, I hope that i get it soon ,

or atbleast get it !!) i can start surfing.



1) Now what i did first , Open c2110 ( obviously because i have the Nokia Siemens c2110) open service activation manager, an page opens 'Welcome to DSL

Startup Wizard ' which checks the computer configuration , the Memory ,processor ,OS, Java, Macromedia Flash and IE5.5.Then it requests for 1)Setup boadband

or 2)Home networking .I select Broadband.It request whether it is USB or Ethernet, I choose USB, Then it ask to choose the modem type.There are Type I and

Type II. I choose Siemens Type I.Then it asks to connect the modem.It gves amessage 'Please wait while computer is prepared for USB modem.Then it tries to

detect / verify the modem .This continues for 1-2 minutes and then it says the modem cannot be verified.So this is FAILURE No 1.

2)I try a different method.

There is a folder called Regular Contents / USB drivers in the folder called C2110 in the BSNL CD.I run the setup file there. It starts running fine but just

at the end it gives an error that ' there was a problem in installing the program . Contact the support personnel '. Then the installtion program starts

reverting back . the installation is cancelled and an a message is given to reboot.This is FAILURE NO 2.

To be mentioned that for each time i formatted the machine and did exactly mentioned above after fresh on Windows XP professional , SP 2.

Now if thought of another process.After another clean install of Windows Xp prof , SP 2,
I plugged in the Nokia Siemens c2110 in the USB port. Now I right click My Computer ,Click Device Manager, Then i Right click the USB Device , Update Driver

, select location , set location as the folder where the USB drivers of the modem are kept. This apparantly installs the
modem drivers.I see a network adapter called 'lanroad' is created.i am also manually able to create a PPPoE dial-up screen , i tried to login with a dummy id

.it gives an error -invalid user name /password ( this is obvious , i just wanted to see till which checkpoint the connection reaches).

I can also open the site http://192.168.1.1/ and login using profile 'admin/admin'
There is an icon of LAN at bottom right saying limted connectivity.

So that is my story.

My question is right now whether my modem is really OK or how to check i.Whether the softwares are set up correctly.Please anybody who has WiN XP sp2 with

Nokia Siemens c2110 and BSNL broadband connection ,guide me for this entire process of setting up . and if there is any way of knowing technically it is

right or not?
Thanks again for reading such a lng one

well your setup seems to be fine.. cause you are able to access 192.168.1.1 and it also gives that wrong username/password error..So all you need to do is insert your bsnl username and password in that dialer you created and you should be good to go..

since you have already setup the nokia siemens c2110 open the modem configuration using 192.168.1.1 & go to configuration--internet connection.there you should see the first connection as pppoe below which is a option to connect.see if you can change the mode to bridge(in which windows is used to dial the connection using your bsnl username/password).
