My ADSL router is connected to my system through the ethernet port.
Try using the lan instead of usb.

hey.... try swithing off your modem and and unplug it and keep it on a rubber/wooden surface for 1 hour then put it back where it was... dont switch it on... switch on the PC... make sure the modem is off and is not kept on a carpet/mat.... then when the comp starts, switch on the modem...
then goto start>run and then type "ping 192.168.1.100 -t" that gateway IP is the one wich the BSNL guys put... plz check ur gateway IP and then hit enter... if the ping returns data... then there is absolutely nothing wrong with ur modem...
then do a ping on the DNS server....

also please check the status of *192.168.1.1

Hey mario_pant
What is the logic behind putting the modem on rubber or wooden surface?
Can u clarify mu doubt.

 

[mario_pant]

the logic is that it will transfer any static charge on the surface of the modem and the logic behind not keeping the modem on a mat/carpet is overheating!
and does this work for you?
