BSNL router: 192.168.1.1 not opening

[aytus]

hi guys . i hav got a BSNL router model WA3002G4 and have connected it to my ethernet card.. it shows connected at 100Mbps .. but it is always showing "accquiring network address" and when i ping 192.168.1.1 . it shows host unreachable.. also it shows "limited or no connectivity" .. i havnt got the password from bsnl .. jst installed my router yesterday.. but i think the web management page should open without internet coverage too.. cos its located in the router itself and not on the internet// if i m wrong ..please let me know.. if not then tell me how can i open web management page of my router// thanks

Use a browser (Opera/IE etc.) and in the address bar use the address http://192.168.1.1/
This should open up the modem/router config page showing a login. By default the account and password is admin/admin. Don't forget to change that later on.
Also the acquiring address part wouldn't be a problem unless you want to use your system in a LAN etc, where you may have to mention the alternate address .

I think this is because DHCP is not enabled in the router. Also you must have set to acquire the network address automatically. Try the following:
In the Network Connections-->Local Area Connection-->Properties-->TCP/IP-->Properties, enter the following.
IP address: 192.168.1.6
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway: 192.168.1.1
Preferred DNS: 218.248.240.23
Alternate DNS: 218.248.240.135
Click OK in all dialog boxes. Now the connection status should say 'connected'. Open the router config page. There will be a DHCP configuration page under setup/tools. Enable DHCP, although the manual settings allow you to access the internet.

Did you connect to net earlier. Coz there is a range limit of BSNL BB, it depends on distance from house. One of my friends living about 200 metres away from me doesn't receive connection. As far as modem configuration is concerened, you need to enable DHCP, then connect to modem, else by default configuration, you cannot access or ping your modem. Check in Ethernet properties, check pppoe configuration.

thanks shri.. now its working yarr. appreciate your help.

well jst got my modem yesterday.. so im kinda new to networkin .. wud like if sm1 can clarify somethings..
IP address: 192.168.1.6 (is this the addy for my pc? like if i wanna connect my lappy i will use somthing like 2 or .3 or .4 or .7 in place of .6 .. rit?)
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0(this will remain same??)
Default Gateway: 192.168.1.1?(all the traffic routed to this?? which belongs to router))
Preferred DNS: 218.248.240.23
Alternate DNS: 218.248.240.135 (have no idea wot are these ?? hw are you supposed to find these?? are these bsnl servers??)

wot is DHCP and how to enable it?? i know a lil bit about it.. like you store settings in the router itself and even if u format you will still b able to connect// can sm1 point me in rit direction to know more .. and also wot is port forwarding .. y is it used ??
