I dont know if this has been told before, but any way here it goes.
I have a dataone connection at home, os - xp pro, with zonealarm as my firewall.I had a strange problem with checking my data usage using browser. the sites i visit is dataone.in, nad when i clicked the check usage link it used to redirect me to bsnl.co.in. Ok now i tried the addresses
http://10.240.43.216/webLogin.jsp
http://10.240.128.195/webLogin.jsp
Ok now i got the main page, i could login and log out but thats all. I could not check my usage. In the mean time i used shaplus to chk the BW. Ok it worked problem solved. But sometimes even that wdnt work. I got very frustrated when i codnt chk the BW for more than 5 days.Now some how i changes my Popup blocker to medium in zonealarms privacy settings.And guess what..... now i can chk my usage. The setting was to block all popups in Zonealarm , that was the reason i codnt chk my usage in the browser. I Double Chkd it and it was the reason.
If this has been posted before then im sorry , If not i think it will be useful for many.
