Hello members,I am a BSNL Broadband user from Orissa. I have the Type -I Siemens C2110 modem. As per the istructions given by "mrbgupta", I upgraded my modem firmware. Prior to the upgradation, I was using my modem in bridged/dialup mode. I have 2 reasons, why I prefer this bridged mode. 1. Sometimes, suddenly the broadband connection of our exchange fails. Then I can use the "bbtest" login to verify whether there is some problem at the server/exchange end. (There is no point in asking the exchange people in case of any problems, as they themselves call ME and ask whether there are any problems with broadband). I am the unofficial and voluntary technical troubleshooter at the local exchange (related to computers and broadband).2. I download files from sites like link-removed. As you know, they block/limit downloads for free users. Using the bridged mode, I can easily disconnect and reconnect to get a new IP and continue download and avoid the restrictions. Yes I can disconnect and reconnect by either switching OFF the modem and then switching it ON again, or I can Disconnect and then Reconnect through the modem management interface using my browser, but both take a long time to complete. And I am NOT comfortable with the idea of connecting to the net without my knowledge.I want to use the bridge mode so that I can create 2 different connections and use them as per my requirements/choice.Since there is no way to downgrade the firmware of my modem, is it possible to use bridged mode?? I tried a few times but failed. I cannot ask the exchange people to replace my modem as then they will face technical problems when they give this upgraded modem to somebody else.Please help.Sorry for the long letter, but I need some guidance urgently.Thank You.Lalit Kumar BarikSambalpur Telecom CircleBargarh ExchangeOrissa State
