Hello,

For the past two days my internet has been down. Initially I thought that the line has a problem but the modem stats show a SNR of 37.

It turns out that the BSNLs DSLAM is giving out private ip address. Here is what i am getting

Code: 
#ifconfig
  pppoe-wan Link encap:Point-to-Point Protocol  
  inet addr:10.208.217.58  P-t-P:10.208.216.1  Mask:255.255.255.255
  UP POINTOPOINT RUNNING NOARP MULTICAST  MTU:1460  Metric:1
  RX packets:120 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
  TX packets:3604 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
  collisions:0 txqueuelen:3
  RX bytes:19052 (18.6 KiB)  TX bytes:797432 (778.7 KiB)

Has anybody seen this sort of thing before? This should affect more people than me. Is this worth chasing BSNL to fix this or something they would fix themselves?

I have tried registering a complain at http://selfcare.ndc.bsnl.co.in but that site is a joke. The complaints automatically get set to 'resolved' end of the day without anybody acting on it.

Thanks
 
It should not affect anyone unless he/shee used the 10.0.0.0/8 network. But still, BSNL has not thought of everything!

I am not into networking of any sort, but being a curious BSNL BB subscriber, can u please elaborate what are the pros and cons of a private ip(static ip)? In what way it will affect us?
 
This NAT business is screwed up my internet.

traceroute to BSNL DNS server (218.248.255.203) works fine but nothing gets past their gateway. Both google DNS (8.8.8.8) and opendns (208.67.222.222) fail to work,

Is anybody else who is using BSNL check if they are NATTED as well?
