[Atreya Chowdhury]

awryt guys herez a common issue sm ppl myt hv faced whyl using bsnl or mtnl
broadband on ubuntu karmic koala...(me faced it so jus thot of sharing)

after getting a modem its pretty complicated to configure it according to
the ubuntu terms....so herez an easy way....n skipped out on the hard
way....


1> get ur modem connected to a windows comp
2> in d run terminal type 192.168.1.1
3> a window shud open...
4> u-id and pwd is 'admin' and 'admin'
5> move over to the internet connections tab and then follow the commands
till a screen presents u wid a user id n pwd...
    *here-in type ur u-id n pwd
6>restart ur modem...not physically but by using the option present..
7>switch over to ubuntu
8>plug in the ethernet wire in2 the port
9>add a new wired connection
10>check-out the connect automatically check-box
11>name it "auto eth0"  *this is the most important part...
12>thts it....

therez anoder way to do it but i guess it needs the MAC address
