Quoting from other community forums :

This is the step by step prodcedure on how to configure BSNL Type IV (MT841) modem for autodail and wireless setup.

First do not insert the WLAN card in to your modm. connect it with supplied LAN cabel or via usb.

Go to your computer eathernet connection setup and change the ip of your eathernet card to the following.

IP Address : 192.168.1.2
Subnet Mask : 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway : 192.168.1.1

now in you browser windows open up the configuration screen of mt 841
in the left side you see the wizard from basic drop down list select connections. Left side you see PVC0 to PVC6 now you only need to change the value of PVC0 to dial up the connection automatically with PPPoE setup. but some how you can not edit the connection of PVC0 by clicking the note icon on the configuration screen. it only let you change the settings for wich the PVC is created and let you delete it. so you need to delete all the PVC in the list. Stat from PVC6 press notes icon and delete.

Do the same process for PVC6 to PVC2 and PVC0 do not delete PVC1 untill you create new PVC.

now press the new button and create new PVC specify following parametere in the PVC

WAN Type : PPPoE

now click on apply. It will show new PVC and it display it as PVC1 now delete PVC0 from the list and start create remaining PVC for your connection by pressing new.

All PVC shoud have following property.

Wan Type : Bridge
Encapsulatino : LLC

and for VPI/VCI follo this steps

PVC1 : 8 /35
PVC2 : 0 /100
PVC3 : 0 /32
PVC4 : 8 /81
PVC5 : 8 / 32
PVC6 : 14 / 24

now you have created all the PVC&#39;s with you dialer configured at PVC1

go to advanced select Firewall and select enable.
go to DNS selct Ebable and put following value in the dns

Primary DNS : 61.1.96.69
Secondry DNS : 61.1.96.71

to configure Dataone on win98 .
first of all there are 2 ways to connect .

1. using PPPoE dialer
2. using inbuilt Modem dialer

1. in case 1, your modem will simply act as a modem and not block ports
for you and hence no security.
the procedure required for this kind of thing is given in detail at
http://www.calcuttatelephones.com/dataoneinstall/menu.html

you need to download the PPPoE dialer for win98, and also the PATCH for
the PPPoE dialer for win98, both are given on the above site. read the
instructions given there and you are ready.


2 in case 2, your modem will act as a router blocking most of the ports.
many experts recommend this router action.

in this way, you need to set your lan card some IP addresses,
first do http://192.168.1.1 to access your router
(if you have not changed it)
and then in there goto WANsettings,
in that select PPP, connection type : PPPoE,
enter your dataone username and password,
click APPLY, save,and the modem will restart in 2 minutes.

now you need to configure your network card settings.

right click network neighbour hood > properties,
then select your LAN card&#39;s TCP/IP Properties,
in there enter the following :

IP address : 192.168.1.2 (can be anything in the range 192.168.1.*)
but except your routers IP )
subnet : 255.255.255.0
gateway : 192.168.1.1 ( ip address of your router)

dns1 : 61.1.96.69
dns 2 : 61.1.96.71

click APPLY, OK, it will ask you to reboot your PC,
and after the reboot, you will have internet
whenever you switch-on your modem . [/b]
