Thread: port forwarding.....

bro u r right....i too read it at someplace....dat sme ports r free to use and some hav already been picked....u need to pick one dats free....but how r we supposed to know which ones r free......it might take dayz for me to find it out....and also u said u forwarded one port i am doin d same......i am forwarding...60442....strt and end both......but somehow it does not seem to b workin....

the fcukin problem is wid DLINK GLB 502t .. this modem sux big time and i believe(in fact i know) that i am not the only one facing these kinda problems with dlink.
The firmware of this dlink model is fcukin outdated and has loads of bugs in it.. even if u forward ports correctly u wont be able to get the best out of your bandwidth. The only solution of this is to use this modem in BRIDGE MODE.. try bridge mode and u`ll be able to bear the atrocities of this freakin shitty product of DLINK

And i am an unfortunate owner of the same product .. so trust me and switch over to bridge mode .. tats the only solution

No. There is no difference. Speed is controlled by ISP (BSNL in this case).

speed is surely controlled by the isp .. all i am talkin abt is the faulty firmware of dlink glb 502t which causes lots of hassles even after port forwarding .. in this case utorrent surely works better in bridge mode

looks like wen i was ngaged in my own plans to port forward.....d guys BSNL were tryin to give me d shock of my life......dey sent me my monthly bill..........Rs 5000......its for d month of march.....durin which i had lodged probably a 100 complaints wid dem.....coz my net was not workin.....it was guys at dis forum dat told me dat faulty wiring is d promlem.....it has still been not worked out.....i rarely cud use it in d month of march....den how come i xceeded my limit.....all i wanna ask is....is dere any case dat u guys hav come across...where BSNL has acknowledged its mistake and waived off d extra amount.......or will i hav to cough up Rs.5000.......

chk ur account usage and get back to us .. somebody might have hacked ur account(which is pretty easy) and screwed it !!

dis is wat it shows.....but i don't get it.....i hav not d'loaded dat much durin day time at all......

your 13th entry is from 21:48PM in night to 1:25AM in night next day(total about 3 hours 40 min).are you sure you didn't left your computer & modem on connected & some download continued in that time?

yes bro i am 100% sure....i don't d'load anythin durin daytime.....maybe a song or two....nthin much.....usually i might d'load around 15 to 20 mb durin d day.....but nthin of sorts which is shown in d details......

wat do i do......d guys at BSNL hav strtd dere thing again.....one tells me to call another....he refers me to someone else...so on and so forth....

incase someone maybe using your account.Wouldnt it be better you change your password right now?? before they continue misusing....

how come someone misuse an account just by knowing the username and password . i thought u need the exact telephone line to do that.

Bridge mode will be some faster than PPPOE mode, because in PPPOE mode, each of your incoming and outgoing packets need to be NAT. But this is not the case for bridge mode modem. The packets will be directly forwarded to your computer without NAT. So you will see some speed increase in bridge mode.

Hi prashant, i came across your thread. May i know your modem model and type. Whether it is type IV or II?

i am using a modem of my own.....D-Link GLB 502t..........i am not xactly sure of the type....it has one USB and one ETHERNET port....and also a built in splitter ...so one port to connect d phone also......

Ok i thought if you are using Wifi, then there are chances for misuse.

If there is no billing issue by BSNL and if nothing went wrong from your end, then there are chances that

a) DACS box might be used in the mid way of your telephone line. But it is costly

b) Other scenario might be, i tell ....

do you keep your modem always ON ?

is ur modem wireless ?? and if its wireless have u secured the network or not ?? if its wireless someone in ur surroundin areas can screw ur bandwidth and in case it isnt wireless then someone hacked into ur modem n then stole ur username password. In the former case u can do nothing except securing ur network. In the latter case u can register a complaint in bsnl(which wont be useful anywayz)

sharks_me -
Modem model is already discussed as Type I. But you again put questions asking for 'is ur modem wireless? and if its wireless have u secured the network or not ?? if its wireless someone in ur surroundin areas can screw ur bandwidth'

Everyone please go through full thread before posting.

and also about dat excessive billing thing......i think i will hav to pay it.....no one wants to listen to u in d local xchange.....dey say if it shows dat much usage den i hav to pay d same.....notwithstanding d fact dat about a twenty complaints in dere register show dat i had been complaining for literally all of d month.....

could anyone explain how this exessive billing happens in non-wireless modem .
even if u know the username password i thought u need to have the exact telephone line to connect.
i have a home pc.
i thought only if a robber enters my house and connects to net i would get charged isn't it?
can you use the username password on another telephone line to connect?
please clarify

can you use the username password on another telephone line to connect?
please clarify

yes if the account is not port binded.currently port binding is in place in large/metro cities only.
