BSNL broadband in ubuntu 9.04

ssaha · 06-12-2009, 12:11 AM

I can connect to my bsnl broadband by the pon command from the terminal...

But is there any way to use the nm-applet to connect to the internet?

I have configured the dsl connection but whenever i click the radio button beside 'bsnl', it disconnects eth0 and tries to connect to bsnl...
and connection fails...

can anyone of you pls help me?

if i understand correctly

ur using eth0 interface to connect

else check from "ifconfig" commmand

so now everything is ok and ur webpage is also opening so

goto /etc/network

edit ur interfaces file

the fact that ur using pppconfig to connect tells ur establishing a dial up bridge

can u also provide me the name of ur OS

i am assuming ur on ubuntu jaunty

ssaha · 06-20-2009, 12:49 PM

yes...u r right in ur 3 guesses(ubuntu 9.04 i.e. jaunty is mentioned in the thread name itself)....but what will i edit in the interfaces file?
