The MTNL engineers were very enthusiastic and spent several hours learning how to set up the dlink adsl modem.Apparently dlink / mtnl dont train their people. Any one with any more experiences before we can recommend it to all.
Hi. I have talked to some of my friends and they have good things to say about MTNL ADSL. The speeds are ok. Are you planning to teach MTNL engineers on a regular basis? I would like to learn too ^^ I have seen people use MTNL ADSL but I've not got my hands on it :( If you have any plans to setup any more connections, I would love to observe the process! I would be even more interested if you're doing it on a *nix machine :D
Am i crazy to use winblows??. Actually the setup is very simple if u have used linux. The modem connects to your box nic with a straight cable. It has a default ip of 192.168.1.1. You fire up your browser and connect to this ip. You can change the ip to something else, configure static ips, dhcp, some basic firewalling etc. U can also telnet into the modem. U can reflash the modem with the latest kernel, busybox and anything alse that u want flash size permitting.

Yeah, I have used Linux and continue to do so happily :P Thats why I am on this mailing list :). I know the procedure. But actually doing it is very different than reading about it ;). BTW I heard these modems had a lot of heat problems and would stop working (or reboot) after a while... is that true??

i have bsnl dataone and bsnl dias - i didnt do any configuration. Plugged it in. connected cables. Went to mandrake-system-configure your computer - new network connection. Clicked adsl. clicked pppoe clicked eth1, added username and password clicked finish and started surfing. The machine gets a 61 series or 202 series ip and thats it. Only problem is dns that goes phut now and then so i run my own dns. Last time something had to be redone i was out of town and my 12 year old daughter did the job. btw, before you ask, this is mandrake-linux and not windoze

Ok...ok...! I get it! And JFYI my routers on Debian, this is Fedora Core 2 and my lappy is running FC2 as well, while my other desktop runs Knoppix on and off but mostly windows due to a few compatibility issues ;)
