Unable to connect to the DSL-502T router

[wildthing4ever]

Wow! 98 KB/s on a 32 KB/s! I wish I'd BSNL! Though the MTNL techies had told me to set the TCP/IP settings to 'Detect IP Address automatically...' and 'Detect DNS Server automatically', I set them manually. I used the IP address they'd given for the router, and set the IP address to one after that. Now, I could connect to the router. Then when I went to the router setup page, I saw the DNS Server address (I couldn't connect to the 'net at this point). After I manually set the DNS server too, I got connected!I have no idea why the router didn't detect the addresses automatically...Any ideas?

Hmm... I did see someone blogging that MTNL is giving away static IPs !I didn't believe that, but what u did implies what I think ! ???

i also heard about that IP thing (rather read in the newspaper)...don't really know if it's static...coz they can always think that the customers are fool and they can talk about dynamic IP, rather than a static one in the ad...
