I just got the TATA WiMax installed, the connection is pretty good the download and upload is pretty decent at 0.5mbps but only on the tata technician's laptop..oh yes! and Not on my compputer.... when he tries to connect it to my PC it shows "Limited or No connection"

He tried it again on his Laptop and it showed the same message again ... so he did the following things and the connection started working again on his laptop >>

--configured the IP manually in TCP/IP settings to 192.168.1.2 and then the LAN icon shows "connected at 100mbps"

--gave the following command in CMD "telnet 192.168.1.1" and entered usrname and pwd and typed "sh bs" [Enter] ... it gave a hell lot of information which i beleive to be the signal strength etc...

--open IE and the damn thing started working on his laptop ..Eureka!!

--so he tried the same thing on my Desktop PC ... now when he types the following command in CMD "telnet 192.168.1.1" it gives an error "Could not open connection to the host, on port 23: Connect failed"

--he struggled with it for quite some time (long enough to finish my 2 cans of coke) and it still wasn't working and the genius came up with a solution that my LAN card is faulty ... i said OK

Next stop computer hardware store ... bought a new LAN card .. connected and tried the same and guess what??.. the same message ...

I thought ..OK my XP is gone bad .. so i re-install it and the same error ....

Then i thought maybe the LAN card is faulty .. so i go buy a new LAN to USB converter and still the same message...

Tried with and without the firewall

Limited or No Connectivity

"telnet 192.168.1.1" .... error is....... "Could not open connection to the host, on port 23: Connect failed"

Could someone please HELP ME find a fix for it ...??

Same problem at my end for 3-4 days. Complained to Customer service same old trouble shooting done with them nothing happened. I complained to Nodal Officer and next day connection started working and repl came. BTS has some problem, and it has been rectifiedm which means signal tower of my area was doen and thats why i was facing problem. And now also it sometimes show limited or no connectivity but after sometime connects and reason being modem automatically detects bridge or router mode depending on how many computers are connected or if its on single user mode.

The modem first starts by assigning the IP 192.168.0.2 to my pc and then after few minutes show limited connectivity and then it assigns wimax wan ip starting with 10.277.xxx.xxx and after that only i get my dialer page.

When asked about this at customer service they didn't had any answer but silly excuses, which i didn't got it. But one engineer told me to follow this steps whenever this happens.
1. In TCP/IP properties check Obtain IP automatically and same for DNS Server
2. Disbale Lan Connection
3. Then Again Enable it
4. After you get Wan IP assigned by modem apart from 192.168.0.2 if you are using single system click repair connection
5 It will start working. It worked for me most of the times apart form few times.

You should forward your complaint to NODAL OFFICER and you will get better results instead of calling customer care.
