These Steps worked for MTNL, BSNL, Verizon, AOL and other telecom companies which provide internet connection through a phone line.

Broadly Internet connection does’nt work due to two reasons
1. Your modem is not getting proper signals from the central office or Telephone Exchange.  (No Synchronisation)
2. Connection between your modem and computer is not fine. (No Route)

How to Recognise if there is a No sync or a No Route.
Thumb rule is if DSL or Link or Ready light on your modem is Solid green it means that your modem is in sync with central office and getting proper signals. If DSL or Link or Ready Light on your modem is blinking then its No Sync.

Troubleshooting guidlines for No Sync.
Restart the Modem before doing anything else.
1. Check if there is a Dial tone in the phone line….If not call your phone provider.
2. Check if your modem is connected properly to the phonejack via a phone cable….Try to    swap the ends of the phone cable.
3. Check the modem is connected directly to the phonejack without any filter or splitter thing.
4. There should be a filter on all the analog devices which are working on the same phone line ex. Fax machine, Answering Machine etc. except MODEM (Modem should not be connected via a filter.

TroubleShooting guidlines for No Route.
1. Restart the modem
2. check the physical connection between modem and computer. Ethernet or Data light should be green on your modem

3. Ipconfig -Click Start > Run > Type “cmd” and click OK
and in the black screen type “ipconfig” and hit enter key.

IP Address………..192.168.1.11
Subnet Mask……….255.255.255.0
Default Gateway……192.168.1.1

(if could’nt get these results check the ethernet adapter and try to reinstall the drivers for the ethernet card)

4. Configure Modem.
Open the GUI of the modem by typing the default gateway of the modem in the Address Bar of  IE or any other browser.
Put the Username and password provided by your ISP.

5. Ping google.com or any other website.

Click Start > Run > Type “cmd” and click OK
and try to “ping google.com”
If google is pinging you are good to go online.
If google is not pinging then try to ping google by its IP Address

6. ping 74.125.67.100
if google is pinging by the IP address and not by google.com
then go to Run> type “services.msc”> and click ok
and restart “DHCP Client” and “DNS Client”

7. Check TCP\IP Settings

“Lan connection > Properties > Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)”  and click on “Obtain an IP Adresss automatically”.

I have contacted with MTNL Customer support on 1500 regarding this issue. They show confident that it will be corrected within 24 hrs. Heck! It’s been two days now and I don’t know what to do. To make the matter worst they have closed the registration and migration to my previous plan (590 NU – 256k kbps). Great! Now I cannot move back to my previous plan. I can’t believe that I am the only one in this world who is facing this issue. I’m sure there are many other peoples who have migrated to higher plans to get better speed. Do anyone have same experience with MTNL Broadband, I am having?

Setting up dasBlog is really very easy task, you will know it shortly. You can go through these generic notes provided by dasBlog (http://www.dasblog.info/SetupInstall.aspx )

Now once you have been through with the notes above, let’s go further with these steps to setup your dasBlog on Godaddy.

Upload all the files in dasblogce folder to your web server. You should keep the same structure of file and images. Any change in that may cause your web application not run properly.

[Note: Before uploading your files, make sure you have made the necessary changes the site.config file (as instructed in turorial). You need to change the <Root> value to your Blog root directory.]

You can upload the files in a new folder or in your root folder. Ex – If suppose you want to add your blog to this path (http://www.yoursite.com/blog) then you need to create a blog directory in the root and upload all contents of dasblogce in the blog directory.

After you finished uploading, open the hosting manager given by Godaddy and click on the “Directory Management”. This will brings up a new screen where you can create new directory and set the permission to the directories.

You need to set the write permission to the following directories:

To create and set permission to the directory click on the “Create Directory” Button, it will bring up the new screen given below

Your screen should look like this:

Click on the “Continue” button. Confirm your changes by clicking on “Add” button in the next screen.

Repeat the same steps SiteConfig and logs directory

[Note: You may also need to set the permission on content\binary directory. For this you can create a sub directory under content and set the permission as we have done above. Binary directory is used to store the images and files attached with your post.]

Once all above is done your application is ready to run online.
