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 On Sat, Mar 22, 2008 at 3:22 PM, Moz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On 3/22/08, Ramnarayan.

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 > 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.. ) @Sanjay That is a bit excessive.

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.. ) hth, Sanjay -- ubuntu-in mailing list ubuntu-in@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-in

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. ram -- ubuntu-in mailing list ubuntu-in@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-in

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 UP POINTOPOINT RUNNING NOARP MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:5 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:10 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:3 RX bytes:62 (62.0 b) TX bytes:325 (325.0 b) *** I traced routes to one of the DNS' and this is what i got [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ tracepath 61.1.96.71 1: 10.1.0.26 (10.1.0.26) 0.241ms pmtu 1500 1: 192.168.50.1 (192.168.50.1) 1287.837ms 1: 192.168.50.1 (192.168.50.1) 25292.169ms 2: 172.24.160.22 (172.24.160.22)696.038ms 3: 61.0.228.101 (61.0.228.101)asymm 8 1235.882ms 3: 61.0.228.101 (61.0.228.101)asymm 8 25240.111ms 4: no reply 5: no reply >snipped 31: no reply Too many hops: pmtu 1500 Resume: pmtu 1500 *** Randomly i tried tracepathing 71.100.100.1 and it did in 14 steps.

Any one else using BSNL WLL can they confirm what their DNS' are and if its working. thanks ram System : Ubuntu 7.10, BSNL FWT, Access method using wvdial. -- ubuntu-in mailing list ubuntu-in@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-in
