The Type IV modem of Dataone consists of 4 LAN ports and and a Wi-Fi router. This guide will help you to configure the modem for using DataOne Broadband in PPPoE mode, so that you dont have to wait for the lazy BSNL fellows. The guide uses Windows XP as the OS and IE (v8 RC1) as browser.

Configuring in PPPoE Mode(Always On):
This is the mode set by BSNL fellows. If u configure BSNL modem in this mode, you can access Broadband in always on mode, i.e you can just on modem and start using internet.

2.Right click on the icon named Local Area Connection, select properties. Select Internet Protocol(TCP/IP) and click on properties.

3.In the Internet Protocol(TCP/IP) Properties dialog box enter the following values, after you make sure that you have selected the radio buttons, Use the following IP address and Use the following DNS server addresses.

Subnet Mask : 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway: 192.168.1.1

Preferred DNS Server: 208.67.222.222
Alternate DNS Server: 208.67.220.220

4. Now click OK twice to close both the dialog boxes.
5. Now open your browser(preferably IE since all the BSNL sites are designed to suite IE).
