another place.
Or if I have two telephone lines both having the broadband connxion, can I swap between them to use one anothers' account.

Guys i am back in the cyber world. Got a MTNL TriB Unlimited connection today. working good, gentoo servers upgrading, open bsd firwall security updateing, life is sooooo full again, and i did mis this forum.

[leprechaun]

guys thanks for the earlier help.. i restored my 502t to factory sdettings and now things are going fine... except for one...
i recently started using utorrent... so after downloading the .torrent file, when i started downloading it using the USB connection, i was getting great speed... then i paused it for some reason... the nest time i started the PC to resume theb download, i had mto use the ethernet due to some reasons. and i got really suckky speeds... and also the utorrent status bar showed a warning flag, suggesting that there is some problem min your nnetwork config.... so i switched to the usb, and things were fine again... so i thought some sort of problems that wer there, might hacve been solved... so i switched back to ethernet... but again i got that same little flag warning in utorrent and sucky speed...
although i've applied the same port fwding rules to both interfaces in the 502t, and even disabled its firewall, i'm getting the same issues...
could anyone help me figure out that why is this taking place??
why shouold USB work and ethernet not?

PS:- i have NO sw firewall installed in my system and i'm using avg free antivirus, on WinXP SP2
__________
also, why i dont want to use the usb, is that it freezes somehow on my pc within a one/two hours max..
this is another issue... help please!

My experience of Mtnl Triband in Delhi is so far amazing.
In last 14 months the connection was down for less than 30 hours down combined in 2 seperate days.
After getting Rs 1399 (now 949) unlimited connection, torrents are now blazing fast almost (28-31 kb per second) download speed. Thats nearly 100 MB per hour Since it uses a static ip, even it connects faster with static ip setting in my Dlink 502T router.
Can't wait for 512 unlimited connection?
For people having trouble with torrents put your local ip adress, ex- 192.168.1.2/3/3 etc in DMZ under router setting. DMZ is a minor security risk , torrents works at optimum speed. Presently downloading around 40-50 GB per month.

Now my question- Since there is no 512 kbps unlimited connection from MTNL yet. It is possible to combine 2 seperate 256 connection on one computer (with WinXP) to get 512 kbps effective speed?

P.S. I use Azureus for torrent (no nat error thus far) and getright for http.
If anyone facing torrent issue contact me at cricketmater@yahoo.com or here.

[champ_rock]

i called 1500 today because i was planning to change to mtnl..

they said that the mtnl registration charges (Rs. 1300) have been waived off till November 15.

right now i have sify connection for which i have already taken a one month pack which expires on 25 nov.

my question is that if i apply on nov 14 and suppose they install the connection on 20nov. .then will i be charged any registration charges? (they calculate reg charges form the date of application or the date of installaion??)

also, how many days does it NORMALLY take to install the connection after application?

[thewisecrab]

Heres my Q.
i have Mtnl 199 Plan with D-link Router(as i was one of the first people to apply 4 it)
now can i use both ethernet and usb connectivity at the same time 4 my internet?

[king007]

yes u can, u can connect usb to laptop and ethernet to desktop or even vice versa and use the same connection on 2 pc's simultaneously but the bandwidth gets divided. So u attach more computers the bandwidth gets further divided and connection becomes slower....

[thewisecrab]

Thanx

[nfsfan]

is there any such scheme in mtnl that converts ur rs 199 -400mb plan into night unlimited after paying 100 bucks extra...one of my frnds told that the person who came to install the connection at his place told him.i enquired at 1500 and as usual they acted foolishly and dint give a proper reply.anybody knows about it?and has the game pack started in mtnl as well?

[seattleite]

Hi Guys,
I had a question which if you can answer will be really helpful and highly appreciated.

I have no idea about the quality of the MTNL broadband connection and I am planning to get on at my place in Bombay for one month. I will be coming to Bombay and staying at my parents place and asked my brother to get the best internet connection available in Bombay. He said MTNL is the one and hence I am gettin it.

My question for you is which tariff plan will be appropriate for me. I want to connect to servers here in the US and work from Bombay. It will be a simple putty connection to Unix boxes and most of my work will be done at night time.

I was thinking the number 5 connection here http://mumbai.mtnl.net.in/triband/htm/tariff.htm will be appropriate for me.

Do you think 256Kbps will be enough. Is the connection what they say and always that good, especially at night ?

Thanks so much for your inputs

[it_waaznt_me]

Hmm.. I was wondering if you could use BSNL router with MTNL .. I am having Huawei MT 882 provided by BSNL and now I am in Bombay ..

I can program the router ( good at it) .. But just wanted a confirmation as MTNL support people keep transferring me from one guy to another saying he'll tell or she'll confirm ..

No. Theres no such thing as that.

You can change your plan to a higher plan by writing them an application.

But giving just Rs.100 extra wont change ur plan from 400 MB to TriB_NU !

Sorry

wer u referin to this unlimited usage plan fr mumbai?

So far, only Delhi MTNL has an unlimited plan...

Mumbai MTNL has the Night Unlimited plan, But no Total Unlimited.

I have called them up several times, but to no avail.

I think all guys from Mumbai here should make a petition.

We need a Unlimited plan in Mumbai !!

well try the NIght Plan..........

I have an MTNL 256kbps unlimited account, and have been provided with a UTStar ADSL router. My connection dies automatically after a while, with the duration ranging from a few minutes to a few hours (usully averaging 1 1/2 hours, but fluctuating greatly). While the network continues to be shown as being connected, there is no data transfer. Restarting the computer is the only way to counter this problem, after which it works just fine for a few minutes (or hours) and dies again. I use win xp sp2. Please advice.

[preshit.net]

Have you tried troubleshooting and isolating the problem ?

• Is the ADSL LED on the Router still ON when you encounter no data transfer or active connection ?
• Does you house have parallel connection(s) ?
• Tried rebooting _just_ the router, instead of the computer ?
• When the connection drops, have you ever logged in to http://192.168.1.1/ and seen the "Status" of your connection ?

Thanks!!

[kumaramesh]

I do not have any parallel connections, and the ADSL light continues to shine bright when the connection drops. I am not able to log into 192.168.1.1 (.2 in my case since I connect through the USB port) when the conection drops, and rebooting the router makes my laptop hang. Any suggestions?

Hi guys,

I'm already using DSL Nu plan on a phone no. X and planning to subcribe for DSL combo (comes with phone line connection).

Can I surf the web using my old DSL NU account on this new phone line through the CPE that came with DSL NU.

Thanks

[naru]

Hi,

I run XP without SP2, so no question of firewall. But my network connection settings says "firewalled". Why?

Also, I just installed uTorrent and I'm getting this error:

"error opening Windows firewall 0x80040154
unable to map UPnP port"

I tried port forwarding, but even then I get this error:

"Error! Port 40091 does not appear to be open."

"Please make absolutely sure that PeerGuardian2 or Protowall is allowing utorrent.com (72.20.34.145) in either of those programs. Those of you using ipfilter.dat should make sure the list does not include the website's IP. After making sure of this, re-run this test by refreshing the page (F5). "

I've got the D-Link 502-T router connected to the USB.

Plz help

This is the modem they are providing
http://www.alphanetworks.com/asl_2300.htm
It can be connected to both USB as well as Ethernet port. It is and is not a router. By both things I mean that you can connect it as a router for a single system...it will provide you with basic protection...provide you IP filters and basic router functionality. You can also connect it to a real router and it will work flawlessly in a network.

As for the plans...this 949/- plan is currently limited till 30/11/2006 but as we know about MTNL...they will surely extend the scheme and might make it permanent. Currently mentioning both the plans on same page is just a mistake. You can call the customer care and just tell them that you want 256kbps unlimited...they will understand

you can ask your ip from the mtnl poeple...and as far as the router settings are concerned...you must have got a user manual/guide to setup your router...??

I assume you have just reinstalled the OS and didnt touch the router. !!
Meaning, your router settings ae intact.

Now, all you have to do it create a Local Area Connection with the IP and DNS set to "Obtain Automatically" in the TCP/IP Properties.

Thats it...

Yea,

Been using it for the past 7-8 months now. Works flawlessly.

ALthough I wish I had a 24-hour unlimited

[jeetu]

Here is my response for some of the above querries.
It is still a sad state of affair that there is no unlimited 256 kbps plan for mumbai. I use it, although it has closed last month. My account page still shows that I am using 256kbps unlimited. It gives around 50 GB download per month. I think within 6 months 512 kbps ulmited will be available, which will enable people to watch live streaming movies at decent quality.
ADSL routers are notoriously bad with power fluctuation. This is the biggest reson for random disconnection other is that telephone phone line is not properly set-up. If your telephone gives too much hissing sound, that get for telephone line fixed with local lines-mam. Best remedy against power fluctuation is to connect Router with UPS. That should reduce some disconnections. It has helped me. Sometimes when i do get disconnected i turned off my router for 2 minutes then turn it on. Sometime without a 2 minute break, the connection won't get established. There is no need to restart your PC.
For people with port forwarding issues, it depends upon the router you are using, using bridge connection should solve this prblem on 90% of the case. Dlink 502-T is very simple to configure as it gives lots of options.
