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
