! Heyz,

I recently switched over to mtnl 256 kbps line expecting a decent 32kbps constant speed. But it turns out I ll max get a speed of 24 odd (wat the fu**)..
So anywayz I thought that port forwarding my router would help me my bitcomet...
Can anyone guide me how to? I got a utstarcom 300r2u modem and the router firm ware seems to be overwritten by the mtnl techies.... Does any one else have this modem and got a way around this problem?
 
i think the best way to use it is through bridge mode... that way you dont need any port fowarding..

For configuring bridge mode -

1) Log into web interface of modem

2) Select Lan from left hand side options and disable DHCP server. Click save and reboot the modem from the reboot option. While the modem reboots, assign static IP to ur LAN card. You can do it in win xp by double clicking on the lan icon in the tray the selecting properties > TCP/IP>>Properties...use192.168.1.3 ; put the mask in as 255.255.255.0 and Gateway as 192.168.1.1 ; use the foll DNS - Primary 203.94.243.70 ; secondary 4.2.2.1

3) When the modem comes back online, log in again into the web interface for the next part of the configuration.

4) Click on WAN from the options on left hand side

5) in the WAN setup click the edit button in the row which shows PPPoE enabled

6) ATM/ PVC configuration will pop up, let the settings as they are and click next

7) Now from the options that appear select bridging and change the encapsulation mode to "VC/Mux" click next

8) In the configuration screen that follows, make sure that the "enable bridge service option is

ticked..Give any service name or let it remain as it is. Click next

9)In the WAN setup summary click save.

10) Now the wide area network setup will appear click "save/reboot"..let the modem reboot.

The Bridge mode is ready as far as the modem is concerned

now for the dialer

Goto Network connections in Ctrl panel >> Create a new connection >> connect to the internet >> setup my connection manually >> connect using broadband connection that requires username & password >> Put in the ISP name ie MTNL >> put in ur username and password >> add a shrtcut (will make it easy to find after setting up the connex.)

hope this helps..

also ... you woont get full 256kbps ie 32KB download speeds due to loss in transmission.. 24 is around the average speed most people get on triband... though a lot em also get 27KB(including me)!

cheers!
 
Also, if your router allows, try different modulation methods. They can be changed under Modem Setup on your routers homepage.

By default it's set at MMODE (interleaved) for better line stability, but you can get significantly better speeds and lower pings by changing it to GDMT or T1.413.

Experiment with the various methods until you find one that works best for you.
 
ferrari stole my words.

actually i used that website to configure my bsnl huawei router successfully.

very basic and to the point guide lines. highly recommended.
 
thnx.... especially @ chic_magnet

@ferrari

guys as I said about that portforward.com site it gives the description for the original modem but the mtnl dudes have overwritten the firmware and has totally different options and interface....

thnx a lot.... I have done the changes.. lets me observe if there is any improvement...
 
Guys, help me port forward.

I made the necessary changes by going through port forward (Got the static IP configured and the connection runs fine but when i test it thru utorrent, it still says that the port is not open).

I dont exactly know the name of the router being used by the sify people, I have a wireless lan setup at home to share my internet connection with dad's lappy. Do I need to know the exact name of the router being used by the sify people??Cos I tried the instructions given for the listing of the router in my home-network and the internet connection is fine and I have a static IP now, but why arent the ports open/connectable??

I checked in the "PC Guard" tab in Sify and the port(58888) that am using in Utorrent is unblocked.Any suggestions guys??:(.

Edit: Port Forwarded Successfully :D.Nevermind guys :).
 
Darth,

you can share with us what was the hitch, would make it easier for noobs as well the pros. Btw which router does sify give to access their net?
