Partially solved the problem - I had forwarded Port 443 (which is for https, I think) in my modem. Deleted those Port Forwards and now I am able to log in to Rediffmail (secured), Gmail and to some extent Orkut. But Orkut still remains a problem. Sometimes I am not able to go beyond the homepage and even unable to check scraps.:@But the puzzling thing is why did the https connections get blocked when in fact I had forwarded Port 443 to unblock them???:confused: Any ideas?
 
try and put the values put by mtnl,i put in those settings and now me not facing any problem.

Sorry for late reply.@ronello in my case it is Port Forwarding which is seems was the reason. Now generally I am able to access Orkut, Gmail, Rediffmail (in secured mode) :happy: i.e., all https sites - after deleting the Port Forward rule for https i.e., Port 443. But it is an irony, isn't it. But why is this happening? Any guesses? :confused:@gauravmhatre thanks for the suggestions. Now I am using 208.67.222.222 and 4.2.2.1 as the defaut DNS servers. I am still having recurrent disconnections but the reason doesn't seem to be the DNS (might be) but an MTNL line problem as posted by forum member flame which I am unable to get solved for about two months now. The linesman comes and if in his presence the modem is working (lights are o.k.) he says 'Abhi toh sab 1st class chal rahaa hai'. Kaun samjhaay inn beowkufon ko ki sab first class nahin hai!!:@
 
I think all those who are facing this problem should write to MTNL GM Broadband (email id's are in Wiki). They should be made aware of this problem at the earliest. It's a disgrace the way they are running their 'service'. If we can call it that. :@

BTW Another DNS service provider is Comodo
Preferred DNS server address for Comodo

Secure DNS is: 156.154.70.22
Alternate DNS server address for Comodo

Secure DNS is: 156.154.71.22 :whistle:


I think affected customers should write to the GM, DGM Broadband maybe even to the ED & a cc to TRAI, so they know there are many customers being affected. This used to be one of the symptoms of the 'April Problems' apparently still afflicts customers.
