seems the problem was with the DNS, and BSNL have rectified it , so it 
works,

the current DNS' are:
WvDial<*1>: primary   DNS address 218.248.240.79
WvDial<*1>: secondary DNS address 218.248.240.135

in case some one turned auto dns off and needs to add the new ones :)

Hi Moz,

Good for you and Congrats

So much for Airtone Not working ?? maybe it does not work on Wincedows
hence the rush in BSNL to change the instruments

**
As Mir says can you either make a how to and post it somewhere , or
just mail it to the list, it will be good to have.

The whole how to from start to finish will be good,

thanks
ram

The dialer programs be it wvdial or adsl pppoeconf upon successful
connection gets the DNS entries from the ISP and overwrites them in
etc/resolv.conf . Also while disconnecting remove these entries. There
is provision in the config files of these dialers to disable this auto
feature.
In case of wvdial add this line in /etc/wvdial.conf
Auto DNS=off

@Sanjay
That is a bit excessive. You need to find out the exact program which
is making changes to resolv.conf and disable the option.

I've had this problem before where Ubuntu keeps changing resolv.conf and it
can get quite irritating -- not sure if this was the most elegant solution,
but I would do:
$sudo chattr +i /etc/resolv.conf  (this makes the file 'immutable' and thus
network-manager can't automatically change it.. )

1. I added the opendns namservers while the connection was off and it
did not work
infact when i did less /etc/resolv.conf

it only showed the normal nameservers

i then live added the above opendns - and it worked ??

Why ?? can i make these permanent additions ??

2. What are openDNS servers ??

The BSNL -FWT phone that does work is the Huawei ETS 2288. As far as i
know the Airtone 800-1x-III , sadly, *does not work*. However,
depending on where you are the BSNL will change the phone instrument
to a model that works.

Please check the link that Mir has posted.

Importantly , you will need the correct serial to usb cable as well as
a working internet connection - which is different from a dial up
connection- Again this is to be done by the BSNL folks.

I will post my wvdial.conf file as soon as i relog onto linux.

Hi Ram,
Yup the BSNL DNS seems to be the culprit. I am on BSNL Dataone and
also cant able to reach those DNS servers. Try after changing the DNS
servers in your /etc/resolv.conf to
nameserver 208.67.222.222
nameserver 208.67.220.220
(These are OpenDNS servers)

Can you send me your wvdial.conf file? Or other config advise to help

[ubuntu-in] OT: Unable to access the internet even though the BSNL WLL connection is working

2008-03-21 Thread [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Hi

Am using a BSNL WLL (CDMA) fixed wireless phone connection to access the 
internet.

The connection has been working pretty well since January.

But for the last two days though the phone connects i am unable to browse.

This is my wvdial connection
WvDial<*1>: pppd: x?[06][08]
WvDial<*1>: pppd: x?[06][08]
WvDial<*1>: local  IP address 10.1.0.8
WvDial<*1>: pppd: x?[06][08]
WvDial<*1>: remote IP address 10.64.64.64
WvDial<*1>: pppd: x?[06][08]
WvDial<*1>: primary   DNS address 61.1.96.69
WvDial<*1>: pppd: x?[06][08]
WvDial<*1>: secondary DNS address 61.1.96.71
WvDial<*1>: pppd: x?[06][08]

***
My ifconfig seems a bit different (but cannot make out what)
ppp0  Link encap:Point-to-Point Protocol
   inet addr:10.1.0.8  P-t-P:10.64.64.64  Mask:255.255.255.255

I traced routes to one of the DNS' and this is what i got

I don't understand why it traces or pings a random ip address


So what could be the problem - if an additional DNS needs to be added / 
changed how do i find out ???

Any one else using BSNL WLL can they confirm what their DNS' are and if 
its working.

thanks
