Thread: Help required in Setting Huawei wa1003A for wireless and lan connectivity using dialu

Hi

I am having Huwai wa 1003 a type modem and using it with my pc effectivelly in dialup mode. Now i want to connect it to my laptop dell inspirian 1525 through wirelessalso . But i want to retain dialup connection mode to connect to broadband only. As it is easy to restart the pc using Windows task manager in night to use free usage. I am using window vista on both the systems. My laptop shows the wireless connection but it didn't connect.

Since you are using a dialer to connect, it means that you are using a bridge mode.

The disadvantage of the bridge mode is that you can only have one PC connected to internet at a time. For multiple PCs to connect at the same time you must change the configuration to PPPoE (aka Always-On) mode. In PPPoE, your user credentials will be stored in the modem and modem will auto dial for you. Then you will be able to connect PC and laptop simultaneously.

But there could be other issues also, why your laptop does not connect:

a) Have you assigned static IP to your laptop?
b) If yes, does it lie in the subnet of the IP address of the modem?
c) Best way is to enable DHCP in your modem and set the TCP/IP properties to 'automatic' in the local machines.
d) Have you (by mistake or design) enabled MAC address filtering in your wireless security and not included the laptop MAC address in that filter?

Thanks for the reply. I want a dialup connection and want to access internet only on one at a time i.e. either pc or laptop. Please send me the exact configuration on modem and on pc and laptop.

Thanks again

In that case, you do not need to do much - just re-create the dialer on both machines.

Have a look at this guide: http://www.indiabroadband.net/bsnl-b...er-wrt54g.html (Setup of ADSL Modem/Router UT-300R2U with Linksys Wireless Router WRT54G)

Section 2 describes creating a dialier.

Hi,
Can you please send the detail procedure for this one?
I have WA1003A wireless router.
I want to use LAN and Wi-Fi at the same time.
I am already having PPPoE selected.
I have assigned the IP in for laptop and desktop.

Thanks in advance,
Vinod Thakur

I have assigned the IP in for laptop and desktop.

...In your modem/wifi router enable DHCP
.....and give a range say 192.168.1.3 to 198.168.1.20

Hi,
Earlier I assigned IPs to my desktop and Laptop.
Now I have made DHCP server ON.
I have Dataone shortcut on both and for connecting it asks me Login and password. But at a time only one connects and not other one.
I dont have any security (WEP) installed. Is it necessary?

Also now I m not able to connect modem using IE.

Please let me know.

Thansk,

Post IP config/all in WIFI mode.

Of course. Any body can use your WIFI connection in Range ( say around 20 to 30 feet radius ) to surf.
DO you see other wireless Networks in LAN. Either secured requiring the key or Unsecured without key ?
?

Hi,
Thanks for the update.
But how you connect to Broadband? I connect using DataOne shirtcut on desktop.

I tried PVC0 to PPPoE connection but it didnt work

Thanks,

does pcv0 have vpi/vci as 0/35 .. did you enter your bsnl username and password there.. remember once you set it to ppoe , you dont need to use the shortcut on your desktop.. save/reboot your router once changes have been made..

Thanks
I have all the settings mentioned in your reply.
After PPPoE if I dont need shortcut on desktop, then how to connect?

Thanks

thats what PPoE does, it eliminates the need to use a dialer.. Your internet would work automatically as soon as you switch on your modem..

I tried but it didnt work. Do I need to Wireless security to WEP.
Also I ihave PVC0 to PVC5. Do I need keep them all?

leave the rest to bridged and keep pvc0 vpi/vci 0/35 to ppoe.. in your windows pc go to the command prompt and type ipconfig and post screenshot of output here..

I kept DHCP on. In PVC0 I made it PPPoE but it didnt work...
I have desktop connection over Ethernet and I want to connect laptop by Wireless at the same time.

Please need solution for this.

Did you follow website link given in Post 6 ?
Quidway WA-1003A ADSL MODEM MULTIUSER CONFIGURATION

Enter user nameID without @bsnl.in

Disable the desktop connection. ( do not use it )
Test both Desktop and laptop with LAN connection.

For wireless :Like "Dialup" you have to set a wireless connection in your laptop.
Start/All programs/accessories/communications/
Wireless network set up wizard.

Thanks a lot!
BSNL helped me in setting up both wired and Wireless connectivity for my Desktop and laptop.
Now the question is , can they talk to each other?
I am not able to ping them.

configuring your Router
a. make sure u have PPOE activated and you have given correct user nam and pwd.
b. setup wireless security as u feel necessary. its a cake walk.
c. activate DHCP (not mandatory but it helps).
d. save and restart the router.

configuring your laptop
a. let DHCP assign the ip address to this m/c.
b. fillin your gateway as 192.168.10.1
c. setin your wi fi security details
d. connect and surf.

check on your firewall settings in both machines.

do you have any firewall blocking them?? post output of ipconfig from the command prompt of both machines..
