I got a new modem from Siti Infeon DNA-A201BE-I from BSNL, my ISP. I got an installation disc, an ethernet cable, a USB cable and a Quick Setup Guide in the box. First I set it up using the Ethernet cable. Then put the Setup disc in the tray and run the Setup.exe file. The Autorun launcher did not work. Running the Setup.exe a BSNL Broadband Setup Wizard started. It checked some requirements like Operating System, Java Runtime, Flash etc. I had to install an older version of Flash to allow the installer to continue. Then I selected Home install. Now it proceeded to the next step, I selected Broadband, other option being Home Network. My LAN card was configured by the installer. In my opinion this was the only useful work it did. Then it asked me to connect my modem so that it could be detected and the registration completed with my UserID and Password. But my modem was not detected . I tried with USB mode, tried discovering my modem otherwise, called up BSNL tech cell(wonder n

Tracing your IP and the hops made is easy. Remember this is different from finding your IP address. You can easily get your IP address by simply running the ‘ping’ command. This tutorial will show you the geographical locations travelled by the data between your system and some remote address. What is an IP address? An Internet Protocol address ( IP address ) is usually a numerical label assigned to each device (e.g., computer, printer) participating in a computer network that uses the Internet Protocol for communication. How to trace your IP?   Windows Press Win + R', the Run Dialog box opens Type ‘cmd’ and press Enter Type tracert www.google.com (or any other site) You will find many entries with their respective IP addresses.

  We all wish we had a faster than light network speed(well not really). But there are limitations we all have to face more than often. Anyway, that’s life. But you can tweak your network, thus allowing you to get better speeds. This tutorial is not a tutorial(read that again :)) but just a guide. I think you will benefit. Get a Download Manager Often long downloads get stuck due to a network failure. Chances are high that such half finished or worse, almost finished downloads will be lost. To prevent that and also to maintain consistently high download speeds you must get a download manager.
