Not able to connect to WA1003A modem

[abhayambuj]

All,
I have a BSNL braoadband connection (Type-II) and they have installed a Quidway WA1003A device(I have no idea if its a router or what- Kindly educate). I have a HP notebook (VISTA) with wireless facility. I checked on google regarding wireless connection. I found a literature issued by bangalore telecom and tried to follow the same as I was not able to connect through wireless. I went to 192.168.1.1 and then followed the procedures as mentioned. Finally I ended up with no network. The "Local area connection" also is not working since then. One new "broadband connection" has emerged with which I am able to connect to internet somehow(this was got after lot of trials somehow i got 192.168.1.1 and i did "restore defaluts" and I am getting WLAN signals with excellent strength but not able to connect. I am also not able to change the settings to 192.168.1.1 and subnet mask item is not appearing. Can anyone help me in this regard. I shall be obliged.

Hi all,
1. With successfully connecting to the wireless modem, I have changed the factory settings? (Is that correct to say?)
2. With this, If I use a LAN cable and connect to my Laptop, It does not show any connection! That means my modem has become totally wireless.
3. How to restore the LAN and original settings where I use to get unsecured wireless network and LAN cable connection?

Any help with knowledgeable users will help others to get back to original settings.

@abhayambuj : Thanks a lot. Better late than never ! It helps others, when they refer to this link. ( or click the tag) I hope/wish everybody who raises a problem, give correct feedback.
Para two : I am not sure, whether you need instructions ,to use the router, both in LAN mode and Wireless mode to your laptop.
Could you give following details ?
1. Start/ run type cmd type IPconfig/all.
2.Wa 1003a - India Broadband Wiki very much available. Try again.
3. Or try this.
Start/Network/LAN/Properties/TCP/IP properties
select Assign IP address automatically.
enter DNS 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220
4. Do not disturb modem settings for the present.

Hi all, I am horribly troubled by this VISTA software. With a lot of trouble, I was finally able to connect to the WIRELESS modem WA1003 supplied by BSNL. Now when I updated my Norton Internet security which came bundeled with my laptop, to my horror the wireless connection shows "LIMITED ACCESS". I am not able to connect with the internet. As soon as I uninstall the antivirus, the internet connection starts working. The access now shows "LOCAL and INTERNET" in Place of "LIMITED CONNECTIVITY". VISTA has made me go out of my nerves on some instances. Any help will be highly appreciated. Shall a new thread started with this? Thanks all!

Throw the baby with the bath water ! I mean Norton AV !.
Any way see whether NAV has facility to allow your default port
either 192.168.1.1 or `192.168.1.2.
In your Network page does it appear firewalled ?
I am using AVG/ and Zone Alarm ( Free ). a ZA window appears for permission to access/deny
any port./program.
As I use XP Sp2 unable to guide you further.

Para two : Disable Norton and download AVG free from AVG Anti-Virus and Internet Security - Welcome.
