This is a little embarasing to ask as something as simple as triband is not getting setup in linux. On the day we met at Bandra, later I tried it out at my uncle's place and no success. Now I got it at my place and I tried dhcp as well as static ip but nothing works. In dhcp, the dns becomes 192.168.1.1 instead of mtnl's dns, so I made it static but no result. /etc/resolv.conf show the 2 dns entries.
1) Does this mean you tried setting it up in windows and it worked? 2) I am using triband and like someone said, the OS should not matter. My setup is actually via my WAP+router and even then it works in a straightforward manner. Router Internet IP (same as your Nic's IP for a direct connection) would be 192.168.1.2 The gateway would be 192.168.1.1 The 2 dns's are 203.94.227.70 and 203.94.243.70
In the Wan Settings, you need to select Pvc0. Then a username and password field will be displayed. And your username is the phone number and default password is the CA number (get that from your phone bill). Save it.
(I had a hiccuping modem at first which i got replaced.) but overall the setup was very very straightforward. If you change your accounts default password via the web interface then make sure you change the password in the modem too. And this is not the modem admin password we are talking about.
hope this helps
