My configration
My os:ubuntu
ADSL Router: D-link 502T
Wifi AP: Tp-link TLW1G

connection disgram is
from my pc via Ethernet Rj45 cable

Phone line --> Dlink 502T -->Tp-link wifi AP -->  my PC

my wifi has a option of autodial i want to use that, so i confirgured it to autodial at 2:10 and discount 7:50, it also it get connected in the given time(i saw some records in the given time) but the connection is not available to me to use:(

so i think its an routing issue that connection does not reach my box:(

Firstly this has nothing to do with your OS.

I would suspect you are using DHCP on your router. If yes, I would suggest you to try with a static IP.

Assign your WAN port on the router the following IP:

IP: 192.168.1.2

Subnet: 255.255.255.0

Gateway: 192.168.1.1 (Your modem)

For DNS, I use opendns

DNS1: 208.67.222.222

DNS2: 208.67.220.220

I would suggest that you disable the DHCP server on the router and use a static address. Most probably, your router’s DNS forwarded is not working or is off. To be sure, try with a static ip on the computer/laptop. Assign the following IP address to the router’s LAN port:

192.168.10.1

255.255.255.0

Disable DHCP on router.

Assign the following IP to your computer/laptop:

192.168.10.2

255.255.255.0

Default gateway: 192.168.10.1

DNS1: 208.67.222.222

DNS2: 208.67.220.220

Let other settings on router be the same, i.e. your automatic connection settings.

Try this setup out. If it is working, then the problem is with the DNSForwarded of your WiFi router. If still it does not work, then please report the result of the tracepath on your ubuntu machine:

eg. tracepath 61.0.0.70

We can then proceed from there.

In which device i have to do this settings??
wifi one or simple ADSL router??

For DNS, I use opendns
DNS1: 208.67.222.222
DNS2: 208.67.220.220

i too use it, its good service:)

192.168.10.1
255.255.255.0

My present network map, all have a STATIC IP
[ul]
[li]My Ubuntu box 192.168.1.5[/li][li]My Dlink adsl modem/router 192.168.1.1[/li]The Dlink modem is set in PPPoE mode to connect to internet with internal dialer
[li]my wifi router/Access point has a address of 192.168.1.2[/li]
[/ul]

Disable DHCP on router.

done!, disable dhcp on all the devices(adsl,wifi,pc) and switched to static ip

Assign the following IP to your computer/laptop:
192.168.10.2
255.255.255.0
Default gateway: 192.168.10.1
DNS1: 208.67.222.222

my present setting of pc

atcully i am confused by your use of work router??

What I am assuming to be wrong here:

You have the same subnet for the modem as well as your network! I would change it to the following:

Change your WiFi Router’s WAN Port IP address to: 192.168.1.2
Change your WiFi Router’s LAN Port IP address to: 192.168.10.1
Assign your computer the IP address: 192.168.10.2
DHCP to be off on both Modem as well as the Router
Try to connect and see if it works. In all probability, it should.

The only problem I read here is that you have a common subnet for the WAN as well as the LAN port on the WiFi router!

To be more clear:

MODEM has the following:

IP=192.168.1.1

Subnet=255.255.255.0

Gateway=NONE

Set to BRIDGED MODE

WiFi Router:

WAN IP=192.168.1.2

Subnet= 255.255.255.0

Gateway=192.168.1.1

DNS1=208.67.222.222

DNS2=208.67.220.220

DHCP Relay=Off

DNS Forwarded=Off

WiFi WAN=PPPoE mode

username=your Dataone username

password=your password

LAN IP=192.168.10.1

Subnet=255.255.255.0

On your Computer:

IP=192.168.10.2

Subnet=255.255.255.0

Gateway=192.168.10.1

DNS1=208.67.222.222

DNS2=208.67.220.220

Try the above. Let me know.

Sorry dude, the scheduling part with ubuntu is not my cup of tea (at the moment). I am a newbie at linux. With networking I could help and I did
