Hello!
i got my first cable-net connection a couple of hours back (have an existing MTNL connection since years). its from Honesty Net Solutions (franchisee being Dolphin Infonet/1&1 broadband, Thane). presently using it through ethernet on my laptop. some points:
-- have a TP-Link TL-WDR3600 router, on DD-WRT
-- for ethernet, what the cable-guy did was connected the cable to a LAN port on the router, then created a new broadband connection (WAN Miniport PPPoE) for me to log in using the new credentials, enabled the existing ethernet connection (on the realtek controller of laptop), connected and logged in using the earlier created BB connection.
-- to use wifi, he told me to connect the same cable to the WAN port instead on the router, then enter the credentials on the router's set-up page instead of MTNL credentials, put the service-name as 'hns', create a MAC address clone. did this, but can't connect. am missing something. WAN IP still shows as 0.0.0.0.
please suggest how to go about it.
TIA!
