[Biju Sebastian]

Our district offices use win98 os as machines are very old. we are
planning to get bsnl broadband connection to all our offices. Is it
possible to configure broadband connection in 98?
We dont have funds for upgrading the system.

I got this from BSNL website.

 

Most present day configuration PCs will run ADSL. The following minimum configuration is, however, recommended:

Processor 200 MHz (or better)
Operating System Windows 98SE (or higher)
RAM (memory) 32 MB RAM
Free Disk Space 125MB
SVGA monitor
CD-ROM Drive
Network Interface Card(NIC) with 10/100 Mbps Ethernet port with RJ45 socket

Hello,
I got this information from a blog.

How to setup BSNL Broadband


Setup the modem as per the instructions in the manual.

First and foremost connect your telephone line to the modem and check
that the ADSL LED (light) on the modem gets steady (is constantly lit)
after about a minute or so. If it does not and keeps blinking, it
means that you have a line problem and you have to get is sorted out
first to be able to get BSNL Broadband working. I had the BSNL line
coming in from the telephone pole to my telephone instrument and from
there to the modem in the next room. I just tried putting the main
telephone line into the modem and from the modem to the telephone and
hey presto!! I got it working!! And to think that I struggled for a
whole day before I discovered that!! Hope you don't have to struggle
now like I did.

Once your modem is connected to the PC :
(1) Click on 'Start' button
(2) Click on 'Control Panel'
(3) Double Click on 'Network Connections'
(4) Select “Local Area Connection” and right click on it .
(5) Select Properties
(6) Select TCP/IP in that box
(7) Click on "properties "
Enter the details as follows :
Set IP Address as 192.168.1.x where x is any number from say, 1 to 100
Subnet Mask As 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway As 192.168.1.1
The following DNS nos. specific for me in Goa, you may ask BSNL for
the DNS numbers specific to your region.
Preferred DNS : 218.248.240.246
Alternate DNS : 218.248.240.135
Click on "OK" button.
Click on "OK" button again.
(8) Restart the computer.
(9) Open your browser (Internet Explorer or other) and go to http://192.168.1.1/
Enter details as follows :
USERNAME: admin
PASSWORD: admin
(10) Click on "SETUP" on the menu at the top.
(11) Click on "New Connection" on the left.
Now fill in the details as follows :
Name - BSNL
Type - PPPOE
Username : Type what username BSNL has given you.
Password: Type what password BSNL has given you.
Against MTU : feed 1452 to replace the default 1492.
If this is not modified, secure sites like hotmail will not work.
Against VCI : Feed 35.
Leave all others at default values. Then click on "Apply" at the
bottom of the screen, you may need to scroll down if it is not
visible.
(12) Then click on "TOOLS" on the Menu at the top.
Click on “System Commands” on the left.
Click “Save all”
Click on "Restart".
(13) If you open your browser, you should be on-line....
Good luck and happy surfing!!! Great is the power of broadband!! You
can write back if you have any problems and I'll try to help you solve
them.
