hi guys i need help in enabling DHCP on my router .. im using bsnl broadband.. router is wa3002g4, and recently when i connected it to my ethernet card .. it was saying accquiring network address and showing connection status as "little or no connectivity".. now i hav mannually assigned ip to my pc .. and data is routed through the gateway.. and
now i m able to open web management router page(which i wasnt able to do earlier) .. but i dont c any settings for DHCP..
here is a snapshot of my actual router settings (where the dhcp settings should be) but they are not here. ImageShack - Hosting :: 85735209qf0.jpg



and also is attached a snapshot of the same page taken from the pdf mannual provided with my router .. the pic shows the settings of dhcp that should be there ImageShack - Hosting :: 88435838ax5.jpg

both snapshots are of LAN sub-option under Advanced settings
as you can see the ip and subnet options are shown on the page .. but on the same page the DHCP options are missing. try to compare both pics side by side.
help me guys.

these pics are different & most probably the reason is as with all other bsnl provided modems.bsnl has hidden the advanced options of newer modems by changing the URL links of pages.as you can see in manual you can also see virtual server option but in your modem options you won't find virtual server.only way to access them is finding what the exact link of these pages are.in your manual if you can see the page link in address bar use that link in your browser to access advanced options.

firstly sorry for the duplicated thread.. i ll request some admin to delete..
@whitestar.. why the hell are they doing this?? its not that im hacking in there servers .. i simply want to configure my DHCP!! sadly i cant see the full url,s in the mannual. .. if anybody else is having the same router then maybe they would be kind enough to update me with the routers url... or simply provide me with ur configration file .. which wud unlock the options!!??
well i dont expect that someone would btw so .. for the meantime is there any way around i can get this working .. i really need to do this soon. help guys/

i have successfully unlocked the advanced options of my nokia siemens c2110 modem whose advanced options were also hidden.give me the URL links of various configuration pages of your modem settings & i will give it a try.

http://192.168.1.1/wancfg.cmd for advanced settings .
http://192.168.1.1/lancfg2.html for lan configration..
tell me which other links do you want..
btw do you think resetting the modem would help?? tho i m tempted to do so .. but i will hav to reconfigure all my wireless settings // i am using mac filtering .. wud the settings b lost if i do so??

try these links---
http://192.168.1.1/lancfg.html
http://192.168.1.1/wancfg2.cmd
also resetting won't help in this matter because it won't change the URL links which are hidden.

hey .. thanks.. but those links opened the same page as the orignal one jst without the menu on the right and dataone picture on top.. nothing else changed..

but anyhow.. i resetted my modem.. and now its showing all the options.. thanks for your help.. really appreciate ur effort though.
(tip : if any one else else is having the same problum please reset ur modem by pressing the reset button for 10 sec. located under the wifi led/)

Hi,

I am also facing the same problem.I also have same UTstarcom router.
When i configure it to bridging mode,the option to enable DHCP gets dissappeared.

I have also tried resetting the router but that hasn't helped.

Plz help me...I want to connect 3 laptops to the router,but without DHCP i am able to connect only 1.

@kapil_dj
Always mention the actual modem model number in any post.

Don't expect all members to go through
the full thread to find out what is the modem you use.

Mostly the last one or two posts are read, and according to thread title reply/ comments/suggestions are made.

Para two:
Assuming yours is
Utstar WA3002-g4 adsl modem+router+wifi

(A)Do you get a menu page like this?

(B) DHCP usually in Advanced /LAN page.

(C)
Un check "Bridged" mode and select ppp/PPPoE "always On" mode and try .
Needed to connect more than one computer/laptop etc.
