Microsoft Surface

I was so excited to see the Multi-Point Interaction Technology implemented and working. Similarly, Microsoft has come up with something called Surface. Microsoft Surface preview is really so good and awesome. It should have now drained almost all the Microsofts' Rival CEO & Managers due to the interest that people show towards it. For sure Microsoft Surface will become so big Hit...

What is Microsoft Surface ?

Years back, Microsoft introduced / re-invented the Tablet PC which was a great success. And like that today its Microsoft Surface. Surface is some device, looks similar to your Carrom Board with touch screen on it. The touch screen is not similar to the one

Connect Netgear wireless Router WGR614 with BSNL Huawei modem

Last week I went to my cousin Sudhans' house. He is using BSNL Dataone, also he is having Linksys Wireless Router, which is not in use.

So I took my Netgear Wireless Router WGR614 to his house in tiruppur. Unlike other major ISPs in India, BSNL uses PPP(PPPoE) based dialing to connect to BSNL Broadband (Dataone) network.

Connecting the Huawei modem with my Netgear wireless router was not possible with my knowledge, so I googled for a longtime. It gave many results but I was not comfortable as I found that PPPoE based connection is supported by NetGear. So I thought it will be very easy than those step by step guides in the links. I read the Web Based documentation of the Netgear Wireless Router. It showed a very simple way to do that.

Im considering that your BSNL based connection is working, so this is just a add on to your existing connection to make you a wireless broadband experience.

• Just login to the Netgear Wireless Router Web based Configurator / Manager
• Select "Does Your Internet Connection Require a Login" to YES
• Choose Other as your ISP
• Give out your BSNL Dataone -  username & password
• Make sure Internet IP Address is selected to Get Dynamically from ISP (Choose the appropriate one as per your current settings)
• Set DNS Address as the following

BSNL DNS Information :

Primary DNS : 61.1.96.69

Secondary DNS :  61.1.96.71

Long time back I got a call from a girl called Priya, a tele-caller based in Madras, for HSBC Personal Loan. I was not interested so I told her that. But she called me again, and I shouted that Im busy and Do not call me. She called me again, fourth or fifth time.

But I have registered in the Do Not call Registry of HSBC bank, in their website a long time back.

I asked for her age & education. she was in her early 20s' and some BSc degree. Then I replied, "Priya, Im really interested in talking to you, I dont mind talking to you regulary, but dont call me for this Loan. Just talk, tell me about yourself etc.," She didnt reply, thats all. She didnt call me from that moment. 

Like this a guy called me for deutsche bank credit card. I told him that I already have many cards ...

Wi-Fi Hotspots in Chennai Airport

Last week I went to Madras(Chennai) Airport to pick my brother. As I haven't accessed any Wi-Fi connection in Madras Airport, I took my new Laptop, to check out the Wi-Fi Hotspots.  BSNL, KingFisher & TATA-Indicom are the three networks available inside the Airport. Though I expected Sifys' Sify Wi-zone, but it was not there.
