Configuring Internet Connection in Fedora 15


Hi Friends,

We know that it’s very difficult to live without internet in today’s world. Recently I installed Fedora 15 on my laptop but to install other softwares in it I had to configure internet in it. Today I am going to tell you how to configure BSNL internet in Fedora 15. This setting will also work on other flavors and versions of Linux

First start Fedora 15.

After that click on Activities and then click on Applications.

In Applications, click on Network Connections.

Click on DSL tab.

In DSL tab, click on Add.

In new DSL Connection Dialog box, give any name to your DSL Connection. Then in DSL tab, enter your  BSNL username. In Service field, enter bsnl. And then enter your BSNL password.

Then click on IPv4 Settings tab and Select Manual as method. Then click on Add and enter the following ip addresses…

I got these Router settings from sunnyideas’s blog (http://sunnyideas.wordpress.com/2009/11/11/solved-unable-to-access-bsnl-modemgateway/)

After you are done with all settings click on Save and then click on Close.

After all the settings are done, you can open browser and access internet 😀

Enjoy 😀
