This was because the Tata Indicom CPE was already using the IP address given by Dlink for their router.<br /><br />When I called Tata Indicom help desk they gave me the run around saying that I need to call my system administrator! I said I am it! Then they said I need to call hardware engineer! Nothing helpful. (In fact my undergraduate degree is in Telecommunications but that goes back to before the internet!)<br /><br />But as it turns out (and as I had suspected all along) the solution was straight forward. All that I needed was the alternate IP address of the DIR 300 router. According to Dlink manual it was 192.168.0.1 but since that was taken up by Tata Indicom's CPE Dlink apparently defaults to a different node. But I did not know that.<br /><br />After googling to your page I was able to find the correct IP address for configuring the Dlink router, which is 192.168.1.1. I suppose there is some hierarchy that these systems follow which lets the Dlink router default to .1.1 if .0.1 is already in use or some such process. However the strange part is no one (niether Dlink for Tata Indicom) mention this. Dlink talks about how to change the IP address to something else but I felt there must be an easier solution and there was.<br /><br />By typing this alternate address in the browser I was able to get to the wireless settings and make it a SSID network with a key. Something everyone should do not only to disable free riders but ensure that no one misuses your network.<br /><br />This is probably a very common problem faced by users and Tata Indicom could help big time by just suggesting customers to try out the alternate IP address but they could not or did not do it.<br /><br />Any way thanks a ton! Cnsidering that I was one of their national trials for Wimax it is all the more difficult to digest but that is how large companies work.<br /><br />Once again many thanks. Now my network is security enabled.<br /><br />Hope these comments help others who are looking to go wireless (with security enabled) using a Tata Indicom Wimax unlimited access internet connection.<br /><br />KB, Hyderabad.K Bindumadhavannoreply@blogger.com
