B/c they will not provide. and DNS no. there and it is working fine. Is there any way to do this ? </blockquote></div> If Updates are the only thing that you want to download from this cyber cafe and you are using the Airtel connection for all your regular usage, then probably you should look at Offline Update. I have used it and can say that it is very usefull and easy. If you can update atleast the package database in your sytem using Airtel, then its is just going to a Internet cafe and just downloading the updates. Go to System -->Admin-->Synaptic PM. Once the root password is given click on reload and wait for the databases to be updated. This does not need much bandwidth. Once done select "Sections" at the bottom left part of Synaptic. On the top left you will see "Installed Upgradeable". Select that and a lot of packages will come into the main Synaptic window. Click there and Select all with CTRL+A. Right click there and select "Mark for Upgrade". Now Click File -->Generate Package download script and save the file somewhere. Copy this file to a Pendrive, carry it over to a Internet cafe or another computer with fast net, dowload wget to your pendrive from <a href="http://users.ugent.be/%7Ebpuype/wget/">http://users.ugent.be/~bpuype/wget/</a> . If this is a windows computer Go to START-- RUN-- cmd. On the dos prompt cd into the Pendrive. Type wget.exe -i name-of-your-file and enter. The Script will download all packages needed and finish. Now carry this to your computer, plug in, Open Synaptic, Click File -- Add Downloaded Packages and select the Pen drive and let the system update. You are done. If this is a linux machine, then open terminal and type ./name-of-your-file and enter. The rest of the process is similar to above. This process is very usefull and can also be used to update machines that are completely offline, with no intrernet at all. This is also usefull when you have to update many machines that may require the same updates. Narendra
