SMS Spammers are now using International Numbers

Posted: 05 Apr 2014 12:23 PM PDT

Recently I have started receiving Real Estate Spam SMS messages from the international numbers +44 series (total 11 digits).

When I make a complaint to 1909, they say it is not a valid number it should be a 10 digit number, how to report these numbers?

 

Also, after sending so much of SMS spam, Meena Bazaar now has started sending spam messages on my whatsapp.

 

How come these bad asses are so much ahead of every rule and regulations :(

I&B Ministry wants DTH Operators to cough up Rs 2000 crore in license fees

Posted: 05 Apr 2014 12:07 PM PDT

The Information and Broadcasting Ministry has asked six DTH operators, including market leaders Tata Sky and Dish TV, to pay over Rs 2,000 crore, which the ministry said they collectively owe to the government in lieu of the licence fee. The ministry sent demand notices on Friday to Tata Sky, Dish TV, Sun Direct, Airtel Digital TV, Reliance Digital TV and Videocon D2H, asking them to pay up the sum within 15 days. This followed a ministry-ordered independent audit of the accounts of the six operators. 

The calculation has been made on the basis of the gross revenue of each operator. The time period for calculating the arrears is from the day the licences were issued to each of them. 

The issue relating to licence fee payment has been going on between the ministry and the operators for a few years now. The Telecom Disputes Settlement and Appellate Tribunal (TDSAT) had, in a 2010 order, said DTH operators should pay 10 percent of their adjusted gross revenue as licence fee. The ministry had taken the matter to the Supreme Court where the case is pending. "How could the ministry do this, given the fact that the matter is sub-judice ," said Harit Nagpal, managing director at Tata Sky.

Want to buy a new battery for Dell Inspiron 1440

Posted: 05 Apr 2014 10:59 AM PDT

My battery's totally screwed now. It has to be on charging all the time now. I was wondering if I could buy a battery whose battery backup is like better than what my original battery would give (Generally 2-3 hours when it was good). Is this possible to get a battery which would give me good 4-5 hours of backup, or I'd get the same as my previous original battery that came with the laptop would give?

16th Lok Sabha General Elections of India

Posted: 05 Apr 2014 09:11 AM PDT

General Elections for electing 16th Loksabha members would happen in 1 year from now. It may even happen within 1 year as well if situation arises like current govt decides to call early elections or looses majority if coalition partners pull off support (which is less likely). So who could it be forming new govt? BJP or Congress? NDA or UPA? Narendra Modi or Rahul Gandhi? Sushma Swaraj or Manmohan Singh? Arun Jaitley or P. Chidambaram? What impact Arvind Kejriwal would have on these elections? And finally will any 3rd front succeed in forming govt at Centre?

Airtel STB loses connection

Posted: 05 Apr 2014 04:42 AM PDT

My Airtel SD STB loses connection. The screen goes black (no a/v just name of the channel and program guide at the bottom) after few hours of usage. I have to plug out and plug in to get it working. Is there any fix? The connection is not completely lost as I can change channels.

What is SSID name of Tikona WIFI?

Posted: 05 Apr 2014 04:26 AM PDT

Tikona provides Nano Station 2 loco (Ubiquity). Tikona does not give access to that device to its customer or technician. System is based on DHCP. In order to connect with an access point, device is faced at the direction of access point. There is no need to config manually. It will automatically get ip-adress from the system once it is connected. Then after customer will have an access to internet once he is logged in.

But I am asking what kind system they have opted. If you buy a nano station 2 loco from the ubiquity company. They will give access to that device by entering IP address 192.168.1.20 whereas in tikona, if you enter 192.168.1.20, you will get an error of 'Page can not be found'.

Is anybody aware about configuration or basic idea about the security or SSID name to which customer's device connected?

I think SSID name 'call tikona @ 18002090044' shown in laptop (if any access point is available nearer) does not allow users to access internet.

----------

Guys, also post 'tracert 8.8.8.8'. I am thinking that they have secured their systems by using bridge mode and configuration admin page is powered by Ruckus Company.
Tracert will give idea about their DHCP server and their local servers from users' request go to destination.

192.168.1.1 page does not open for ZTE zxdsl531b wireless modem/router

Posted: 05 Apr 2014 12:55 AM PDT

Hello friends,

 

I am using ZXDSL531B modem for my broadband and lan.  From sometime the modem page 192.168.1.1 is not opening. The page "The connection was reset" / "The page cannot be displayed" is displayed while attempting to open the modem for setting.  It even does not show the login page, which ask for userid and password.

 

My internet connection and lan is working fine on this router/modem.  I am using it on desktop [lan connected], wireless on mobile & laptop and all works fine [sometimes internet doesn't work on someday, not sure it may be due to problem in BSNL broadband].

 

I know the reset button at the bottom of the modem may help, but i want to avoid this option at first as a lan cable from DVR [used for CCTV] is connected to this modem and the settings that CCTV engineer may have made in the modem, will be lost.  Also presently i don't remember the password for bsnl connection.

 

Can anyone help please?

 

The ping result to modem is below
