Just two days back I got my new Airtel broad band connection (Speed All for one – 699 Plus) plan.
I configured the linksys router using the installation cd but the router was unable to connect to the airtel modem. Using the link – (http://sanjaygoel.blogspot.com/2006/12/setting-up-wireless-router-with-airtel.html) I configured modem in bridge mode – everything started working fine again. But I am now unable to access the management screen of airtel modem. !!

Also have to restart my laptop/router/modem everytime i need to access the net. A little research on the net again pointed that there is some thing wrong with a setting called – “Dial on Demand” for PPPoE type of connnection. This setting is there in both the router and the modem. (http://broadbandforum.in/index.php?showtopic=7665).

How should I access my modem management screen, without which I would be unable to change the settings ? Is there any other solution ?

Anyone please tell what is the cheapest way and rates to call Bedford, UK from Chennai, India. Unfortunately, the folk there does not have internet access…so could not chat or call through yahoo chat…..Much unsure about the other ways including Net telephony, calling cards, etc…Please enlighten
