As the teams' seeding are based on the T20I Team Rankings as on October 8, 2012, the top eight sides following the conclusion of last ICC World Twenty20 will play directly in the Super 10 stage and India is one such side.

 

Bangladesh and Zimbabwe, which finished outside the top eight, will participate in the first round that will be held from 16-21 March. The first round of the men's event will include eight sides that will be divided into two groups of four teams each, with the table-toppers progressing to the Super 10 stage.

Bought this MR3220 router from snapdeal for 1497rs to use with my bsnl evdo prithvi modem.

Total disappointment

Configuring with the datacard was hassle free but the internet connection speed has significant drop when connected to router even when the signal strength is shown as 83%.

Internet speed is fine when i connect the evdo datacard directly to computer using extension cable(60 -80KB/s and sometimes above 100KB/s).stable 3bar signal and -84dbm

Also it refuses to get connected when i connect the evdo datacard to router using a small usb extension cable.

Tried contacting tp link through mail and their toll free no...no response

it was loaded with the latest firmware 130423 and i downgraded it to 130326 now there is a slight improvement still not good enough

any suggestion ..help????

"Last time (in 2009), the polling in Satara and Mumbai was on the same day and people went to their hometowns. But this time, polling in Satara is on April 17 and here on April 24," Pawar said, addressing a gathering of "mathadi" workers (head loaders) who hail from that district in Western Maharashtra.
"Vote for the clock (NCP symbol) there (in Satara) and come back to vote for the clock here as well," he said, at a gathering held in the APMC market, Mumbai.
Pawar, the student union activist-turned-national leader, however, warned voters to take necessary precautions.
"Do erase the ink mark which will be put when you vote first," he said.

Dear Friends,

I am thinking of buying the following 2 processors online. I have never bought processor online before and my question is - do both the following processors come with a fan/cooler and heatsink or I will have to buy them separately?

Thanks.

Hello all,

I recently purchased Netgear JNR1010 router from shopclues.com. It worked perfectly with my GTPL broadband connection. Just follow the steps mentioned in installation guide. It is very easy.

Just to make sure, You must register MAC address of your router with GTPL, otherwise internet will not work. When you will open admin section of router(http://routerlogin.net), There will be two MAC address shown: one is router MAC address and one is internet MAC address. You have to provide internet MAC address to GTPL.

To register MAC address with GTPL, you have to send email to ccare@gtpl.net. Additionally, you should call customer care(1800-233-0233) and tell them about new MAC address for quick registration.

Once registered, you can try to enter your GTPL username/password in internet setup screen. It's easy, right?

Let me know, if you have any problem.

i need a Modem + router , i have taken a look at dlink 2750u but the think is that i need a router that can stand vertically

I have a D2H STB with DVD+USB.

Hi All,

I just bought the Tata Docomo 3g stick sim and accessing web using Samsung Galaxy S Duos. I receive the 'H' signal when I am travelling by road but when I am inside my home (Dhanori, Pune) or inside my office (Magarpatta, Pune) I receive only 'E' signal.

Now I am planning to change the service provider for better network as I need high data speed for video calling through Skype for office and personal purpose.

Can ypu please help me finding out which is the good 3G service provider in Pune especially with better 3G signal in Dhanori area?

Thanks.

Saw posters just now in Chennai (Teynampet area)

Called up the number. They are covering entire Mylapore now. Surroundings (Adyar, Besant Nagar etc to be covered in a month). Rest of Chennai soon after... So, lets see...

http://www.zejn.si/~natan/gates.html

I'd actually already posted on how to use the Dlink 2750u as a full fledged Ethernet WAN router, but it was a few pages deep in a Tikona thread and some users were getting the actual method mixed up with workarounds posted earlier in that thread. 

The 2750u is actually capable of both adsl and Ethernet WAN routing. However the Indian firmware only enables the adsl WAN. So one needs to use the Middle East (ME) or Russian (NRU) firmware to enable the Ethernet WAN function (with the ME/Russian firmware one can use adsl, ethernet or 3g WAN). Please check the label under your router to identify the specific hardware version and apply the firmware that corresponds to it. Warning: You may brick your router if you apply the wrong firmware. Presently ME firmware is available for C1 and U1 versions. NRU firmware is available for C1. The NRU firmware has the mac cloning feature so you need not ask your provider to reset the mac lock (if mac lock is present). Here are the links

ME C1 v1.3

http://www21.zippyshare.com/v/26312555/file.html

ME C1 latest

http://www11.zippyshare.com/v/86244007/file.html

In the latest firmware, I'm having a problem getting my 3g dongle to work, which is why I've posted both versions. Once the firmware has been changed to the ME type, one can easily switch between versions (of the same hw type) using the software update page and one can choose which version works best for them.

ME U1

http://www9.zippyshare.com/v/92256090/file.html

NRU C1

ftp://ftp.dlink.ru/pub/ADSL/DSL-2750U/Firmware/1.0.14/DSL_2750_v1.0.14_cfe_fs_kernel

Applying the firmware 

The firmware may not be accepted in the normal firmware update mode. Then you'll need to update it in the dlink crash recovery mode using a LAN cable (not wirelessly). Assign a static address on the PC for the ethernet interface in the 192.168.1.x series for eg 192.168.1.5

Switch router off, press the reset button ie insert ballpoint pen in reset hole under the router, keep holding the reset button and turn on the router. Keep holding the reset button for about 12 seconds after you power on the router. Now you'll see that the power led has turned red signifying that the router is in crash recovery mode. When you enter the address 192.168.1.1 on your PC browser, you find the upgrade firmware page. Just browse to the downloaded firmware file and flash!

After the new firmware has been flashed, your internet connection will not start working automatically, you will also need to set up the router correctly. Please do not apply any workarounds mentioned in other threads such as interface grouping, disabling DHCP etc

Instructions for setting up the C1 hw version router with ME firmware

Step 1: Log into your router and under Advanced setup->Layer2 interface->ETH interface create an Ethernet interface with connection mode as default. Then go to Advanced setup->WAN Service and add service for eth0/LAN4.

Step2: If you have an internet connection with pppoe dialing such as pacenet, Honesty etc, in the next page, choose pppoe and put in username, password and service name in the next page. Also choose to enable NAT. In the next page move eth0 from available to selected gateway interface (if it's not already in selected) and remove ppp0 (if present) from selected, in the next page do the same for DNS and finally apply/save

Step2 (alt): If you have a connection such as Tikona, Reliance metro, cable internet (without pppoe dialer) etc, in the next page choose ip over ethernet, in the next page let the setting remain at Obtain an IP address automatically, in the next page check option to enable NAT, in the next page move eth0 from available to selected gateway interface (if it's not already in selected) and remove ppp0 (if present) from selected, in the next page do the same for DNS and finally apply/save

Step3: Then in advanced setup - 3g connection select primary uplink as ethernet.

Now connect your internet cable to the LAN port 4 of the router and you should be able to connect through any device connected through wifi or any of the other LAN ports. If you have a connection with a browser login such as Reliance metro or Tikona, the login page will show up only on the first device that you connect in each session. After you have logged in on any device, all other devices will have internet connectivity without going through the login page.

Instructions for setting up the U1 hw version router

In Internet setup, set WAN access type to Ethernet and in protocol, choose dynamic ip for connection such as Tikona, Reliance metro, cable boradband (without pppoe dialer) etc and choose pppoe if you have a pppoe dialer based connection such as pacenet, honesty net solutions etc.

If your provider uses a mac id lock, then plug in the internet cable in port 4 after completing the setup  and ask him to register the new mac in his database.

Instructions for setting up the C1 hw version router with NRU firmware

After you flash the interface will appear in Russian. Click on the rightmost dropdown at the top of the page and choose English to change the interface language.

Click on Advanced Settings at the bottom

Click on Interface Grouping in the Advanced section. Right click on the LAN icon on the right and click on setup speed and stream. There's some quirk in the interface and it's a little tricky getting this click right. Set duplex and speed to auto and save. Again hover mouse over LAN graphic and click on Make WAN. With the default option of 'Single service...' click save. Go back to the advanced settings screen. In the Net section click on WAN and add a connection. Choose connection type accordingly and choose LAN as the interface. Change MAC if required (if provider uses mac lock), put in other details as needed (make sure NAT stays enabled) and click save. .

I am staying in Dwarka New Delhi and am currently using Airtel Broadband

I recently saw an offer from Tata Docomo giving 5 Mbps and 40GB limit for the same price that I pay to Airtel for 4 Mbps and 15GB limit.

So I am thinking of trying out Tata Docomo.

Any users in Dwarka or more genreally in Delhi who are using Tata Docomo, please let us know your reviews.

Thanks!

Dear Sir,
I am using indigital cable service from March 2012, my STB No: 122121642610415.Last week I contacted there customer care regarding the disconnection of services without any reason and inspite of rigourously contacting them there was no resolution and my cable was disconnected for more than 10 days.

Now when I am paying 150 rs instead of 200 rs subscription fees, as their was no service provided for almost 10 days they denying the fact that cable was disconnected so I told them to go back and check their record but answer is same and then they immediately disconnected my service again.

Also want to bring to your notice that the Local cable was very arrogant and threatened me that no one will give me cable connection in area which is intolerable and I request you to please look into this issue. Hoping justice from your end.

Goodbye BSNL! I finally have an viable option and can consign my BSNL broadband connection to the garbage. To be honest the service was not too bad - I had the 8 GB @ 2Mbps plan and by and large connectivity was okay. But the speed was never up to the mark. And on the few times I had problems, their customer service was so bad I felt like ripping the phone lines out of th wall. Firstly, they only work from around 10 AM to 5 PM. So what happens if there is a problem outside thosehours and urgent work is held up? And if you do call during working hours, it takes ages for anyone to answer - the average is the phone rings for about 10 minutes. And once you get an asnwer the oeprator is least interested in hearing about the problem - she is in a rush to give you a complaint number and go off.

But what made me decide to finally give BSNL the kick was a couple of weeks ago when the connection kept going on and off every few minutes. After the usual headaches I was able to maek a complaint in the morning. When nothing was done till late afternoon I spent another half an hour tryign to call them again. When I got through and said that nothing had been done about my complaint, the operator said that there is nothing she can do and gave me the number of the local telephoen exchange and said I should phone them. That number was, of course, always busy.

Another ongoing issue with BSL is that at fixed times everyday - aroud 5 PM and 10 AM in my case, the bandwidth dropped considerably. Other sers tell me that this is because BSNL allows public sector clients to use excess bandwidth - its a government to government thing and the hell with private users.

There are other service providers who offer up to 40 GB downlaod (upload not taken into account for calculating usage) at speeds of up to 15 Mbps. There is no reason why anyone should use BSNL. I am happy I got rid of this third rate organization.

Hi guys,

I had heard some great reviews from my friends about ACT broadband, so I had almost decided to switch to ACT ( was about cancel my existing service). But after reading the reviews here and elsewhere I must rethink.I live in Girinagar,Bangalore .

My existing connection is slow but atleast its reliable , what I dont want is fast connection which is not reliable. From the reviews read it appears that this is what ACT gives, which is a deal breaker for me. 

And apparently the speeds of websites hosted outside india are pretty bad ...so mostly I have to rethink for sure .

Its Mumbai online store.

This could very well be my favorite new show. Very high quality stuff. Brilliant.

Hannibal is an American thriller television series developed by Bryan Fuller for NBC. The series is based on characters and elements appearing in the novel Red Dragon by Thomas Harris and focuses on the budding relationship between FBI special investigator Will Graham and Dr. Hannibal Lecter, a forensic psychiatrist destined to become Graham's most cunning enemy. The series received a 13 episode order for its first season and, unlike most U.S. network shows, any future seasons will also feature 13 episodes. David Slade executive produced and directed the pilot. The series premiered on NBC on April 4, 2013. In response to the Boston Marathon bombings and the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting, NBC has pulled the fourth episode from its lineup at Fuller's request, going straight to the fifth episode, moving the season finale from June 27, 2013 to June 20, 2013.

Casting is awesome. And it was great to see Caroline Dhavernas after such a long time. Been a fan since Wonderfalls. 

Hello,

I have just moved to JP Nagar 8th phase in bangalore and I am looking for a new internet connection. I have already contact ACT and Airtel and they do not provide connections at my address.

My address is

[color=#800080;][font="'trebuchet ms', sans-serif;"]SK Nataraj Layout, 1st Cross, Kothanur Dinne Main road, JP Nagar 8th Phase, Bangalore - 560078[/color][/font]

[color=#800080;][font="'trebuchet ms', sans-serif;"]I am not including the house # for obvious reasons. [/color][/font]

I would appreciate any suggestions or recommendations as to which other ISP i can contact for a connection in the above mentioned area.

Saw the pilot and it was kind of intriguing. And since I played Assassin's Creed 2 i'm quite able to relate to certain characters as well. Could someone tell me why a brit is playing as Da Vinci? I found that a little awkward. And the protagonist looks like Jim Moriarty from Sherlock. Just my opinion.
