That cannot be done, because the sify client has been made that way, it uses the windows shell command to open the windows default browser i.e IE, you don't have any other choice but to close that window immediately when it opens.

Hi!

The only solution is DONT USE SIFY CLIENT!!!
It sucks big time! And is very resource hungry too! Try SuperSify (I use it) or EasySify (Very good features). Google for them. If u have some problem, ill help u!

about these alternate Dialers
Ive tried these dialers
they somehow have problems disconnecting you from the sify servers and if this happens
i.e it does not disconnect you properly and
and after a while you if try to relogin
youd get a "already logged in" error
now god forbid all you can do is SULK and sit by the phone calling the sify customer care
numbers all day to tell them to make them disconect you from thier servers
so heck move your lazy hand a bit and close that damn I.E
and save yourself from all this wrath

I ll tell u what -- Sify ppl are morons they asked me to install the Windows client on Linux IMAGINE A.exe FILE ON LINUX HAHAAHA

And after since I installed 2.7 version I was having problems logging out and I am dead frightenend since my dad has imposed an allownce cut which means from July I shift to their cheapest Limited plan and If I can not logout properly I will roast the entire limit in one day and I think its stupid to call the Sify ppl every time u want to logout since their toll free no is always engaged (Even at at 4 in morning:-S) so i ve just dloaded Easy Sify Its working nice as I have tried it only 4 or 5 times and have no probs logging out

Hope all goes well

Yup 1 day in All seems well

Uninstall IE???? did you know that without IE, none of your browsers( like fireforx, opera etc) will work.

Yes you can uninstall IE only if you have installed it seperately (after installing windows)

tht supersify, EasySify-Ver2 also not worked .... I think there should be a registry tweak such tht when I click login it opens other browser instead of I.E..

Interesting Thread.

Well Im also a Broadband user of Sify and yes its quite a pain cos even i use Firefox and well I dont think its such a big problem.

Only the first window is I.E and the rest of all are FireFox, thats it, I just use it as it is.

What is the problem you are facing with EasySify and SuperSify???

Here's some help:

EasySify:

Enter the following details in the configuration (find it somewhere i think in easysify options or sam settings)

SAM IP: 202.144.65.70
SAM Port : 8090
SAM Request Path : /

And then just enter your user id and password and ur done!

SuperSify:

Just open notepad, enter the following lines and save it as "logon.bat".
Then just put it in the SuperSify directory and double click on it. Be sure to change "username" to ur username and "password" to ur password!!

@echo off
supersify -u username -p password -h disable

When it logs u in, check to make sure the following line is there:

HeartBeat: Disabled by Sify server. Disabled by user.

If it says:

HeartBeat: Enabled by Sify server. Disabled by user.

Then just remove "-h disable" from the "logon.bat" file.

To logoff, type the following into notepad and save it as "logoff.bat" and put it in the SuperSify folder. Again change the username and password.

@echo off
supersify -u username -p password -l

Also use copy-paste to create the batch files. Its better.

Im sure this will help. Do get back if it works!!!

That stupid Sify BB client forces you to use their stupid AV. Gave their customer care a good round of AK-56 bullets. Disabled it. This had to be possible because no one can force u to use a paicular software. If only this was the US i'd have sued their pants of.
