Calm down. No point in getting your kernel to panic.
That was exactly the problem. :) The triband works in windows so I was hesitant to do any change in the modem settings. I just read all your replies in windows and proceeded to restart into linux to try the solutions and it simply started working. I think the problem was that I was working in gui but only doing a 'service network restsrt' without logging out after any change in settings. Right now I am using a static IP with DNS servers loaded in /etc/resolv.conf
This is the result of my speed check in linux. It is not going upto 256 kbps but thats ok.
Internet connection speed results: File Size: 1000KB Time to Download: 38.957second(s) Your Bandwidth: 236.02Kbps (0.230Mbps)
Thank you everyone for your prompt replies, it is a very nice feeling. Thank you all. :) Now the next stop is my uncle's place and I will give feedback about it.
Best Wishes,
Rony.
