Sujay, Reliance folks are not allowing sharing of the 'Wimax' connection. Pl. note that this applies only to Wimax connections. They allowed it initially and later stopped. And new development is that they are blocking even Linux boxes. I tried to use a Linux box as a Wifi router (I had a spare laptop which I converted into a Wifi router). Now the Linux box too doesn't get DHCP address.. I am planning to modify my Linux DHCP Client to fake that it is a Windows box. Will post you once I am done..

In the meantime I begged my neighbor to open his BSNL wifi to me so that I won't lose my job.. You can't depend on Reliance connection for anything serious like connecting to your office VPN etc.. Their customer care told me that they provide internet connection to the consumers for 'entertainment purpose only' :-)

Its not just reliance.. thats true for every isp in India, one has to keep some backup to keep working and for that sake I now have three connections.. two wireless ( reliance data card and airtel data card) and a sify cable connection.

Angry Not getting ip for linux box.

I too am not able to get an ip for linux. I wonder why these isp's treat consumers as trash. They act as if we are doing some kind of a service to them..

I am doing that all this time. That is not the solution. I would still need windows to get the ip and I have a machine which has only linux. I have enquired with them and the complaint was closed without being resolved. I wonder why nobody has complained abt this.

nascentmind,

I did complain about this once.. They closed my complaint without resolving it.

They copied their DHCP server rules scripts from a US service provider and they themselves don't know how to edit them.. :-)

May be they will take help from Sify folks this time and solve it if lot of subscribers complain about it :-D

I am ready too.. But there is a catch in this.. Reliance never mentioned that they would support Routers or Linux boxes..

PK_Rulz: I re-imaged my Linux box with Ubuntu 7.1 and left for work in the morning today. When I checked in the evening, this box got an IP address!!

May be it is taking too much time to get an IP address, I need to debug it in the evening..
