MTNL triband schemes

well i do restart my router at 12 anyways.. :P

ohh if you want you can set your router to disconnect after say 3 minutes of idle time and that way you can avoid the erronoues billing of triband ..

i have a scheduled to shut down my comp at 7:50 and the router disconnects itself at 7:53 AM so no billing problems ... :D

try it out if you want to
 
yes I am satisfied with mtnl ADSL NU plan. During day I have unlimited internet @ office and night @ home :P I have still 300 MB Daytime download left for the last month quota :) As already mentioned here the speed is pretty stable and also the advantage of port forwarding in your hands rather than depending on those stupid cable ISP.

@zhopudey

man i have lost precious MB's for not rebooting the router @ night. I had also posted my xp here:

If from the command line i want to disable the the network interface and to scheduling then the command wud be:

For PCI NIC give commands

C:\>devcon find pci\*

Identify the NIC device and note that u have to put a hat sign "^" before any "&" sign

Example:

C:\>devcon DISABLE PCI\VEN_1113^&DEV_1211^&SUBSYS_92111113^&REV_10

If u are using D-Link USB option then:

C:\>devcon find usb\*

Now i can easily create scripts and schedule jobs for my NIC.

Check: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;Q311272

The alternative for devcon is the "netsh" command

NIC means Network nterface card not router ?? where did i say restart router? I want to schedule to disable & enable my interface connected to the router

for restarting the router there is telnet script i use

regards.
 
But why do you want to disable the nic?
Everyones talking about restarting router as per mtnl requirements. So please post your telnet script.
 
Hey that is my requirement. If I go to sleep early. I keep my PC ON .

Before going to sleep I disable my NIC to avoid any unwanted outgoing packets !

(If i am awake i use this tool in addition to firewall for windows to catch unwanted applications acessing internet):

http://www.sysinternals.com/Utilities/TcpView.html)

It is like "lsof" command in Linux

Now,

I schedule long list of downloads downloads in my download manager to start @ 12:35 AM

My NIC is enabled @ 12:25 AM

My router is rebooted @ 12:30 AM

My machine is shutdown @ 5:30 AM

The above schedule may be required by some other users on this board so i share ideas. There might exsist other ways to do the same thing but this is howi do it

The telnet script I use is already posted on this forum plz search if not paying attention to the discussion :) !

Regards.
 
just one question ferrar! ... if i have forwarded my ports? can i still use these scripts?.. also plus do i need to use bridge mode? or normal ppope mode bhi chalega.
 
I would be getting the dsl nu connection from mtnl in a day or two. How can i schedule to d/l between midnight 12.00 ~ 8.00 hrs.(nowadays i dont d/l much anyways, except for some vital driver/bios/ xp updtes)

As ferrari has stated above,
"I schedule long list of downloads downloads in my download manager to start @ 12:35 AM
My NIC is enabled @ 12:25 AM
My router is rebooted @ 12:30 AM
My machine is shutdown @ 5:30 AM"

I want to schedule the meagre d/l's at around say 12.30 a.m. and then shut down the m/c when the d/l's are complete.
Also which download manager is safe to use.?? (haven't used any till date). as stated before i would not be d/l any Bit Torrents stuff (songs / movies etc...) nor any file sharig stuff.

I had referred to the links above at broadband forums but all this bridge mode etc...i dont understand. can any of the software guru's here give a precise instructions on how to go about it.
and is built-in xp scheduler good enough for the job ??
 
@chic_magnet

From what i understand, from this link posted by "Hitman":

http://broadbandforum.in/index.php?showtopic=1730&st=0&p=16065&#entry16065

Is Bridge mode is like using the RASPPPOE (Remote access service Point to point protocol over ethernet) client to dialinto ur router, authenticate and access internet service right?? just like dial-up (PPP - point to point protocol) we connect disconnect.

What i am doing is disabling(using the windows "devcon" utility) the network connection by shutting down(disconnect) the LAN card connected to the router so that no unwanted download/upload takes place thus saving my bandwidth before 12:00 AM "if i am going to sleep with my PC ON". The bridge mode in this case cud be considered as an alternative to my method.

Port forwarding wudn't be a problem with these scripts. Just schedule to enable the NIC before the router reboots.

See understand there are two level of security:

1) Firewalling

2) Service - IP - Binding : meaning configure the service say for example "ftp" to listen either on:

* all networks : 0.0.0.0:21

* 192.168.1.0 network : 192.168.1.2:21

to understand just run the command: netstat -na

@ deejay

Most download managers have the option to schedule downloads and shutdown the machine after download completion.

The one i am using currently is Internet Download Accelerrator. Before that i liked Internet download manager alot.

Builtin XP task scheduler is what i am using to schedule jobs :)

well when i use flashget i schedule it to shut down or start downloading at 12:05 am..

but usually to download torrents i use bit tornado .. so i gues i`d have to be awake to start downloading through bit tornado.. ( now dont ask me why i use bit tornado :P)

nbut ya will try the scripts after exams man.
 
Well memories, I dont reset my router or do any other fancy stuff, and I haven't had any problems with huge bills ( until now - touchwood). I've received one bill so far, and that was only for 12 days of october. Once I get november's bill, the whole controversy will be clear.
I check my session history regularly, and my usage between 12pm to 8am is correctly reported ( 400 - 500 mb/night on avg), and amount billed is 0MB. So I don't think there'll be any problem.

So you can go for triband, its gives great speeds, and hopefully will start an unlimited plan soon.
