Hathway ISP - Cable Modem - Connection Failure

rated 0 times [ 0] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 8927 / 2 Years ago, mon, february 21, 2022, 12:55:32

India has an ISP named Hathway which provides connection through cable modems. The cable modem is connected through a CAT6 cable to the computer.

It is surprising that while MS Windows is able to connect with the internet and get to the page named login.hathway.com, for accessing the internet, Ubuntu fails to even procure the IP as a DSL connection. Attempt to connection with DHCP based setting have also failed.

I have also tried using sudo pppoeconf and it fails to detect the DSL modem and the connection therein.

Any clues on this mystery?

I studied how Hathway connects to the Internet by using a redirection on http://login.hathway.com. Apparently there is a redirection script, which redirects the browser to one of the following addresses:

203.212.193.59

203.212.193.60

203.212.193.61

Now, typing these IP addresses in the browser's address bar does not seem to work as well. What works is the following:

IP.AD.DR.ES/bsp/startportal.do?CPURL=http://login.hathway.com

where IP.AD.DR.ES is any one of the above IPs.
