Hi,No, i did not get any paper/CD with the modem.. when i enquired about it at my exchange by calling them, he told they themselves had not got the CD when the boxes arrived from UT. I thought that to be strange, but i let it pass, because apart from the CD and the literature, the other required physical components were there, so i guess it didn't matter to me at that particular instant in time.Can someone tell me if there is any way to confirm if i have the right modem software / firmware? Is there some way to upgrade / reinstall?I tried all options now in the evening, but only the pppoe with always on works for me.. torrents dont work, cos i think ports aren't forwarded... i'm able to browse normal HTTP pages though, so even if i call BSNL tech support, i guess they would take this lightly and say that "Net is working fine"... guys, please help, is there some way i can get this configured right?Can someone post their UT300R2U DSL Router device info page (192.168.1.1 initial screen)? Are the details i have posted above the same as you have?I dont even know if this is a software / firmware problem... but how do i get the same default screens that everyone is getting - will updating/upgrading the s/w / firmware work? If so, how do i do that?

And Mad-hawk can you please post screenshot of your modem?Friends,
Firstly, I'd like to know your experiences of the speeds experienced in using BSNL BB at various points during the day - if you have noticed them. Understandably (reasoning logically rather) for Home 500 ('upto 2 Mbps') users, it is bound to vary quite a bit during the day and the night depending on network traffic, isn't it? What is the max and the min speeds (d/l and u/l) you have experienced at say 10AM, 6PM and 12 midnight?
Secondly, BSNL only issues dynamic IP addresses, isn't it? My doubt is: my torrent downloads are working, but i suspect the speeds are much lower than i could/should get. I wanted to try port forwarding as i had successfully used it previously when i had a different ISP, but as mentioned on one of my earlier posts a couple of days back, i am unable to open the config page of my UT300R2U router - 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.1.2 simply do NOT work for me. Can someone please suggest or reason why this could be or any ideas on how to troubleshoot this? (other details: i use a dial-up Ethernet-based LAN connectivity mode, and though i dont mind converting to always-on mode - if i knew how to get it to work, pls dont suggest converting to USB).
Thanks a ton.

And oh yes, i even tried opening my default gateway / IP address on my default browser by verifying it in cmd>ipconfig> (both Default gateway & IP address are the same 59.xx.xx.xx ). Also my Ethernet adapter LAN settings reveal that there is an Autoconfiguration IP Address (169.xxx.xx.xx) and a subnet mask (255.255.0.0)... just thought of adding in these details so that the kind-hearted folks here could reason out my problem.. since am not able to log into my router using any of the IP addresses, i dont even know what mode am using: bridge, dmz or virtual... my torrents just work at 25-30 kBps at all times during the day...
somebody pls help!
Hi .. if u are geting or using 169 ip or forced in ur lan its of no use u wont be able to open the router gui page.... unforce the ip in the lan and the check the lan card is enabled . then check ipconfig. u will get the default gate way . use it. by default all the routers default gate way are 192.168.1.1. or 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.254 or 192.168.0.2... so if u get these in ipconfig well and good. if u still have trouble try to restart ur pc in safe mode with networking.. and check ipconfig .. if still the same then.. then uninstall the lan adapter and restart the pc. but dont uninstall in safe mode do it in normal mode.. then again check the ipconfig.. if still the same. then reset the router.. then turn off the router and after few min turn on the router as well as the pc reconnecting the ethernet cable.. u should get.. if u dont then its a fault wit the router..
make sure when u do this the ip should nt be forced in of the lan .

Hi Seshu, Manohar, other friends,I tried to do as Manohar said above and dialer (pppoe) working now... thanks a million, friends! Actually, earlier, after resetting the router and configuring the lan settings, i did not switch off the modem.. now i switched off the modem and then on again (after the reset), and all of a sudden it worked... i guess re-start and on-off is the key! 
But still, my screen looks different from the guides posted for the utr300r2u.. a friend of mine told that it is a BSNL "limited firmware", and thats why it looks so... could that be the reason? and yes, i did buy the modem from bsnl...1) friends, my problem with torrent still holds... can someone tell me what is the average speed that one would get for the Home500 plan - in utorrent 1.6 for a torrent which is highly seeded [in excess of 500 seeds and 250 leechers (peers)]... i have configured all the utorrent settings as mentioned in our forums after reading all of them carefully... but i only get 45 kBps at night, and lower than that in day... once in a while i get 90 kBps, but very briefly... can someone post optimal settings of utorrent for Home500 (2 mbps) users? Also,i have been using NOD32 as my antivirus, and i think it rocks.. so my query is, do i need a firewall or am i safe enough without one?

Good to hear that its working but sorry no idea about the speed which they give. but can give u some some suggestions . try disabling some files in ur startup through msconfig in run... u know some softwares will decreace ur system performance.. hence disable unwanted soft ware and minimise ur security setting and the privacy settings in IE then the speed which u get s the actual speed. we cant blindly say that u are getting slow speed u have to make sure tat the pc is good enough to get the max speed.
I know this request is a little out of place from the purpose of my original question, but still i hope i can place it here... Can any 'Home500' (2 mbps) users using utorrent in our forums confirm if my UTorrent settings below are ok? I get above 1.5 mBps d/l speed when i test my speed in dataone speed testing.. but in speedtest.net it varies.. it's quite low... so, can someone tell me what optimal settings u use to get a decent speed (above 90K) in utorrent?
My current settings with doubts highlighted in bold:
1.‘Port used for incomming connections‘- I use 60000
2.Randomize port each time utorrent starts: unchecked
3.Enable UPnP port mapping (Windows Xp or later only): UNCHECKED or CHECKED?
4.Add utorrent to Windows Firewall exceptions (Windows XP SP2 or later only): UNCHECKED (i have windows firewall disabled)
5.Global Maximum upload rate (kb/s): what should be the value here?
6.Protocol Encryption: enabled
7.Allow incoming Legacy Connections: ON or OFF?
8.Global Maximum Number of Connections: what should be the value here?
9.Maximum Number of connected peers per torrent: what should be the value here?
10.Number of upload slots per torrent: what should be the value here?
11.Use additional upload slots if upload speed
