Hello All,
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.
Help help!!
Rony.

The unit should work irrespective of the Client OS. However, your symptoms are similar to what I experienced with the first DLink modem I got from MTNL. It RIP'd a short while thereafter. Of course, MTNL will not replace until it bellies up. Hopefully, you have better luck with your unit.
1. Firmware version of the modem? (hint: status>device info). If not V2.00B01T01.ML.20050530, upgrade from DLink/India website. 2. Disable DNS relay and DHCP in the modem, on client systems apply static IP and MTNL's DNS servers in /etc/resolv.conf. This worked for me for a while until the modem went kaput. In the replaced unit I have done the same deal. 3. If the above does not work, then "reset" the unit (a small switch at the back) to factory defaults. Before you "reset" note the settings for PVC0 (home>wan). After unit reboots, you will have to re-enter your PPPoE login data and save it. 4. You can try DLink Tech support but don't raise your expectations for them to solve your problem.

Why is this OT??.
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.
What exactly is "nothing works"? can u ping the modem? can u ping the dns (203.94.227.70 in my case) from your box?
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.
which ones? If u dont have a local dns your resolv.conf should show u 203.94.227.70 and 203.94.243.70 If u have a local dns it should show u 127.0.0.1
Help help!!
Calm down. No point in getting your kernel to panic.

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

Hello All,
This is a little embarasing to ask as something as simple as triband is not getting setup in linux.
I don't know about MTNL, but have set up Dlink DSL502 on dataone. We have changed the IP of modem to 192.168.1.250 and changed gateway of all PC (win and Linux) to this IP. We used default screen of modem to set-up username/password. And it started working.. I do not see the role of OS in DSL502 installation. Warm Regards,

Afaik all modems from MTNL installed in the past month are with the above. If u login to the modem webserver and goto "Status" u will get the Wan status which should show connected. If not u are not connected and u will have to call MTNL. Have a windoz box ready if u dont want to spend half the day teaching MTNL personnel GNU/Linux. Go to the "tools" "misc" section. U can ping the dns from there.

I did not know about it, not being in the DLink->MTNL supply chain. Besides, it is best not to make any assumption.

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.

Hey consider yourself lucky! 236Kbps isn't bad at all. People have trouble getting even 210Kbps! :(

That is the max u will get. I get 224~226Kbps consistently.

I have located the problem in my triband connection. The connection was allright (ping & ftp & synaptic->ok) but no sites opened in Firefox. I found that at boot up Ubuntu forgets the dns entries & replaces it with 192.168.1.1 even if i add these entries in resolv.conf hence the ad-hoc solution is to add these entries manually on every power-up & then surf ;-)
Or I could make a simple script to add these lines to resolv.conf which runs at startup. An attempt: #!/bin/bash echo nameserver 203.94.227.70 203.94.243.70 > /etc/resolv.conf echo search 203.94.227.70 203.94.243.70 > /etc/resolv.conf # that's all folks
how can I make this run at startup? rc1.d? I might have to chmod resolv.conf to be writable by others.

Ubuntu does not forget dns entries. Looks like your Ubuntu setup is getting IP/DNS info dynamically from the DSL modem/router via DHCP.
Change the setup to static ip and enter the DNS servers - you need to make these changes only once.

Hello Arun and Mohan,
While I was fiddling with the password settings I had noticed that the DNS entry in the ADSL itself is 192.168.1.1 and it is in auto mode. I just now changed it to manual and added the 2 dns entries 203.94.227.70 and 203.94.243.70 Then after save and reboot, I blanked out the /etc/resolv.conf and then set my eth0 to dhcp with no existing dns entries. After a reboot, I am able to get my net up by plain dhcp. So now any machine with dhcp can be connected to the modem. :)
Regards,
Rony.

Today my uncle's comp. was made linux ready. The dhcp was already enabled in the last failed attempt. This time the only thing done was to edit the adsl modem's dns setting to manual and added the 2 server entries. That was it and the machine was surfing the net after a reboot.

a simple /etc/init.d/network restart would've done it ;)

Sorry, old Windows habit.
Actually I had problems with dns when I used service network restart during static ip settings in my comp. Thats when I had pressed the panic button. But I checked it up now for dhcp and it works fine without reboot. :)
How does one activate resolv.conf entries without a reboot?
