On the same note, can someone please tell me how to setup the BSNL modem, which comes with a LAN port and a wireless connection as well? The BSNL guys gave me a printout with some changes which were to be made in the Windows network settings, but I lost it and need to setup again as I have relocated :-(

@bbalegere Huawei modems are known to get heated during operation. This results in the modem getting hung and the connection getting timed out.

i am having the same problem with xp operating system.
i dont think it was due to heat problem.

once i ll unplug the usb cable from my pc and replug it, it will start working asusual.
but its a tempo solution

i want permanent solution.

and another thing, this problem dint arise when using windows 2003 server os.
