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

I traced routes to one of the DNS' and this is what i got

I don't understand why it traces or pings a random ip address
****
So what could be the problem - if an additional DNS needs to be added /
changed how do i find out ???
Any one else using BSNL WLL can they confirm what their DNS' are and if
its working.
thanks
