No - I set it up & then turned it off.

Assign your Wireless card the following IP address and DNS Servers:

IP: 192.168.1.123
Subnet: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 192.168.1.1

DNS 1: 218.248.255.145 (BSNL One)
DNS 2: 208.67.222.222 (OpenDNS - To Be Safe ;-|)
Really helped a lot - I have got further than I did whole evening.
Now wireless shows connected. No error/warnings.
Unfortunately, I am still not able to browse.
Going to say google.com, Browser status bar says "Finding site:www.google.com" for sometime & then the page goes to "Cannot
find server".

Ping yahoo.com
Ping request could not find host yahoo.com. Please check the name and try again.

ping 66.94.234.13 [ Yahoo's IP]
Pinging 66.94.234.13 with 32 bytes of data:

So help me - what is the problem.
From the 2nd ping - it may be that the gateway is not letting
anything through?

One question. When I connect through my desktop, the dialer(?) asks
for a username/password which I provide?

How come a wireless connection can be established without a username/password - is there a way to provide my username/password
to the modem when connecting to through the wireless? Is this what
I am missing - is this why the gateway isn't allowing me in?

Also do I need my desktop on & connected to BSNL for this work?
I tried either way, no diff.
