how to connect to broadband

Could anyone of you please share the steps behind configuring BSNL broadband in Windows Vista laptop and Windows XP Desktop.

By last week i got new laptop from US, it suddenly got into some big crash. Still we dont know the reason behind that. First we tried Vista laptop with USB driver but i think unfortunately this will be the key for laptop crashing and then we restored but still most of the softwares are not working now. Now we are trying to connect the laptop through Ethernet cable. This also not working. Please guide me.

As far as the usage impression goes, Connect betters BSNL only in customer apathy. Though, recently faced with the onslaught of competition, there was a clear directive from the top bosses to shape up or ship out.

Long time back, I had approached Connect office to provide me with dial up connectivity.

The screwed up idiot was hell bent on providing me with ISDN- a premium service in his opinion. Despite promises of high usage, they refused to extend the wireline to my place. Interestingly, they were insisting that I pick up CoRDect- a wireless mode of Internet access.

The buyout rumours might be true. HFCL’s script has shown it the way. It rose significantly in yesterday’s day trading on BSE.

Interestingly, Reliance has dug up only those areas in my city where HFCL Connect isn’t offering it’s services. I was indeed surprised in recent times that they are not going to high density zones. Yet, this is just a pointer and perhaps future might reveal the truth.

Reliance would be well poised to get a deal for HFCL. They would have a captive base for landline customers some of them who have been stupid enough to go along with promises of 400 MB “free limit”. However, HFCL had chalked out plans on the lines of Reliance Web World under the brand name “Planet Connect”. They misleadingly claim about surfing at 1Mbps; the bandwidth is distributed to different terminals. Either, this was a ploy to get higher value addition to the imminent sale or stupidity of monumental proportions. HFCL has by and large a small regional player; with no depth of the market. Neither, there is any buzz around the company.

So, it cannot hope to get on even ground with Reliance or Airtel. Plus, it is sorely dependent on bandwidth from the biggies.

Overall, it would be a great buyout for Reliance. A solid deal. And perhaps help them to roll out their Broadband services to exisitng and new customers.

Exciting times indeed. By the way, this is the only place where it is being reported; Google News hasn’t picked this up so far!

You can read the old posts on HFCL Connect:

1) Smaller Telecom Operators of India. I had written in about Connect:

Do we need these smaller players? Well the answer is yes and no. Smaller players lack the marketing muscle of the bigger ones. They are encumbered to localized regions and cannot offer economies of scale. However, the smaller players can offer faster customer response times. Sadly, this fact has not really reflected as far as Connect is concerned. I have mailed and personally talked to the people in charge for extending the services to my area, which they consistently refuse to do so. I gave up in disgust.

2)HFCL Connect- running out of luck?

For how long can they sustain themselves? Spice Punjab has announced plans to expand in other markets. Connect is opening up it’s browsing centres on the pattern of Reliance Web World. While this is belated entry, it is enough to attract puppy crowds towards what they call as Broadband. It seems that much of the time is spent on chatting. So much for the “millions of Internet subscribers” do to access Internet. It cannot be generalised but a cross section of the surfers mainly use for Emailing and the like. A minorty are power users. It remains to be seen as to how HFCL survive.

Airtel hasn’t made any major moves in the market so far. 

This post was prompted by imminent buy out by VSNL/ Airtel. It didn’t materialise. Does it mean this Reliance buyout is another rumour? We’d have to wait.

Connect broadband

By adminComments Off

buddy i wanna tell u one thing never go for connect . these people are fooling every one
i wanna share a personal experience with u i had my bsnl broadband unlimited 750 plan activated i was in the street when some guy gave me some paper regarding connect broadband it was written over there that gold 666 pack has got upto 500 kbps speed 
i was shocked . i immediately call connect people and got my connect broadband. tey took 830 rs for activation .
now see wat happened .

connect broadband

with bsnl u/l plan my speed was 256kbps/32 KB/s and with connect broadband it was 16 KB/s although it is 500 kbps which means it should be 60-65 KB/s.
actually the speed they are providing is 150-500 kbps.

they have not mentioned it on their cards .
honestly their speed has never gone above 25 hardly . so i will suggest , dont go for connect because they are not providing wat they are commiting& if u want to go for connect then first call those people and get ur speed checked 
they are fooling us
connect broadband

i hope my comment will help u in choosing what is right 
this is my personal experience with connect .was once CONNECT BB user before for 6 months under 1111 UL plan. The reason why i took that plan because the plan provides maximum 512 kb (kilobits) from 11 am to 10 pm and upto 1 mbps from 10 pm to 11 am. one more reason, BSNL only had maximum 512 kbps UL plan during that time when i got CONNECT BB.

Believe me, I had faced a lot of problem like torrent can not be supported (maximum only around 6 kbps). When I heard about BSNL’s new plans of 1 mbps and 2 mbps UL , I immediately disconnected CONNECT and took BSNL 1 mbps UL @ 1500. It is really awesome. I feel like I finally got my long awaited dream though it has 25 gb limit @ 1 mbps speed and after that FUP (256 kbps) but it does not matter to me since i do not have to wait for loading and I am not super heavy downloader. If I were then i could get 500 plan additional too
connect broadband

have taken the BSNL BB connection yesterday, they have given me the ZTE DXDSL 831 AII MODEM WITH A CD. I AM HAVING A LAPTOP OF COMPAQ MADE WITH WINDOWS VISTA HOME BASIC AS OS. I COULD NOT ABLE TO CONNECT THE INTERNET EITHER THROUGH EITHERNET PORT OR USB PORT. KINDLY HELP ANY ONE TO SOLVE THIS PROBLEM

Net connect broadband internet

By adminComments Off

Broadband, or high-speed, Internet connection is what many users currently use in their home. Along with high-speed Internet, many users may also use a router to allow multiple computers to connect to the Internet. This post will describe how a router is used to connect multiple computers. To make it easier to understand, I will use where you live as a comparison to how your computer is connected to the Internet.

What is an IP Address?

net connect broadband internet

IP addresses are a series of numbers in the form: nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn, where nnn is a one to three digit number. An IP address is unique to an individual computer on a network, similar to how your home has a unique address. For an Internet connection, an IP address is supplied by your Internet Service Provider (ISP).

In some cases, your ISP may provide you with more than one IP address, which allows you to connect multiple computers. As you will see later, however, you can still connect multiple computers with a single IP address.

Connecting a Single Computer

Connecting a single computer to your high-speed Internet is very simple to do. Simply connect a network cable into your modem, and then into the network card in your computer. Your computer will then be assigned an IP address from your ISP. For example, if your ISP assigned you the IP address of 24.24.50.17, then your computer will have that IP address.

When you make a request to a server, such as for a Web page, the Web server knows which IP address made the request.

The information is then sent through the Internet and back to your computer. This is similar to when someone sends you mail to your home. The address on the mail allows it to be delivered to your home and not somewhere else.

Connecting Multiple Computers
net connect broadband internet

How can multiple computers connect if only one address is assigned? When you make a request for a Web page, how does it know which computer requested that page? Let’s take our home analogy one step further. Let’s say instead of living in a house, you live in an apartment. When someone sends you mail, they not only include your address but also an apartment number. This number is internal to your apartment building and every apartment has its own unique number. Similarly, multiple computers can connect to the Internet if they each had there own unique local IP address. This can be handled by a router.

A router is a piece of hardware that connects directly to the modem. Each computer is then connected to the router, instead of the modem. Now instead of your computer having the IP address supplied by your ISP, your router now is assigned that IP address. This is similar to your router acting as the apartment building.

The beauty of a router is that it can assign its own local IP addresses. When you connect a computer to the router it now receives one of the IP addresses assigned by your router, similar to how each apartment has it’s own number. Now when you make a request for a Web page, the request is sent using the same ISP address, but this time it is assigned to the router. When the Web page is returned, the router receives the request, and sends it locally to the computer that requested the page.

The router also has its own local address that is similar to the local IP addresses of the computers. So now the router has two addresses assigned to it: an external one provided by your ISP, and a local one provided by it. This allows the router to connect to both the Internet and the local network.

Note: The 192.168.xxx.xxx address are special IP addresses reserved for Local Area Networks (LANs).

Managing a FTP or Web Server on Your Network

Let’s take a look at this scenario. You have a router connecting multiple computers to the Internet. But now you want to create a FTP or Web server. No problem. You setup the necessary software on a computer on your network, told someone outside your network the local IP address of your FTP server and they try to connect. They then discover that they can’t connect. Why? Its similar to someone mailing something to you by just specifying your apartment number and no address.

The IP address assigned to your computer is local to your network. You can connect to that computer from within your network, but not from the Internet. You will need to use your ISP-assigned IP address (the one assigned to your router) to have someone from the Internet connect to your FTP server. The problem is that your router is assigned that IP and not your computer, and since an IP address must be unique, how can two computers have the same IP? The answer: they can’t, but they don’t need to.

Routers have the ability to forward information on a port to a specific computer. A port is a numbered channel that data can be sent through on a network. You cannot physically see it as it is a virtual channel used extensively in networking for sending/receiving data. For FTP servers the default port is 21; however another port can be used.

Open your router setup and look for the port forwarding option. Specify the internal IP address of your FTP server and the port number and then save that information. Now when a user tries to access your FTP site, they must use the ISP IP address that is assigned to your router. The router will then notice that the data is being sent on port 21 and then forward it automatically to your FTP server. A Web server can be setup the same way, but its default port is usually 80.

Note: By default a router will dynamically assign IP addresses to the computers connected to it. This means that the first computer to connect to the router will get the first available IP address, and the next will get the second, and so on. If you manage an FTP server, it may be easier to assign a static IP address to the computers to ensure that the FTP server always has the same IP address.

This article described how to connect one or more computers to one Internet connection. It is important to remember the following:

If you have one computer connected directly to the modem, then that computer will be assigned the IP address from your ISP.
When using a router, the the router will be assigned the IP address from your ISP. Any computers connected to the router will be assigned a local address by the router.
A router will have the ISP IP address and a local IP address. This allows it to connect to both the Internet and your network.
When setting up a computer as a FTP, Web, or other server to communicate over the Internet, it is important to use the router’s IP address to access your server. You will then need to forward the necessary port to your server.

How to connect broadband?

By adminComments Off

Broadband internet is the widely used internet service today. This is the contrasting version of Dial-up connections. While dial-ups are slow as a turtle with only bitrate of 56 kilobits per second or even less, broadband connections are much faster. It can be twice as fast depending on your internet provider. It still needs telephone connection but it is not disturbed even when you are using your internet.

how to connect broadband?

Here are the steps on how to set this up easily:

Step 1: You have to sign up for a broadband access in your area. You are presented now with a myriad of options. You can choose from wireless broadbands, DSL and cable internet. Don’t worry, even if you are living in a remote area, chances are, you can still find a good internet provider.

Your best bet is to go for WiFi access.

In some internet providers, they will send people to personally connect broadband. There are also companies who offer broadband kits. These kits already have manual to help you out. It usually has pretty easy one step connection.

Step 2: make sure that your desktop computer is internet ready. Most desktop computers are nowadays so this should not be a problem. If you are not sure if your computer is ready for internet, check if it has Ethernet ports. Unless your computer was built in the 90s, it should have the right parts for internet connection.

Step 3: If you are choosing wireless connections or antenna, you will need the help of the people from your internet company.

They will provide antenna or satellite dish and personally install it in your home. They will also do the configurations on your computer.
