Hi essbebe,
I am unable to open some sites like yahoo,gmail,hotmail,naukri&google (upto now).I tried changing MTU from 1500 to 1492&1454..still my problem didn't get fixed.I also tried giving static IP & DNS(which are recommended by you).I also tried changing my modem..still the problem persists.disabling AV & firewall... all possible troubleshootings I have done still no use....Actually I want to know what is "opendns"..? how we will do that..? even my google is not working to google it...Will reinstalling my OS will fix the problem?

/members/khanna16/ Modem UT300R2U
Mention your modem model . see below
1Check DNS page and enter Opendns given below.
Start/Network/LAN/properties/TCP IP
2check Obtain IP address automatically.
3In DNS enter 208.67.220.220 and 208.67.222.222
( you can enter BSNL DNS as alternate ).
Para Two :
PPP adapter. Same: TCP/IP properties Advanced look under WINS
select check/enable Default for Netbios over IP.
Subnet mask 255.255.255.255 doubtful. How you entered it ? I think end entry is 254.
Default Gateway usually the IP address of modem viz 192.168.1.1 and Ip address will be different . say 192.168.1.11 etc ( depending on the range you have entered in modem/router)

REF: calcuttatelephones.com/dataoneinstall/menu.html Select your modem.
There are two models.

hello .. im unable to access few sites like bwtorrents / dctorrents, rest all other are working fine. i've tried using the methods mentioned here but cannot get access to sites. i can certainly ping the site & getting response also but the browser keeps on saying .. connecting .. connecting to 123.com / abc.com

 

[blu_6779]

I'm having the same problem. Sites like bwt and wikipedia and this site don't open, but when I reboot the router I'll be able to access the above sites, but not others before the reboot and the same vice versa when I reboot again. I've checked if I get the same problem on another computer and another account and it's the same. Something's really screwed with bsnl...

change DNS servers to opendns 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220

 

[blu_6779]

^^I am using opendns. The lookup seems fine, it just says connecting and then "cannot connect to this page."
