Just to let you chaps who've been given the DSL-502T ADSL Router by MTNL know...
MTNL hands out a dynamic IP address to your router each time it connects to MTNL.
This is great but if you know the following... you'd be a bit concerned
Your routers configuration is exposed and can be changed by HTTP, Telnet and FTP!. This is provided you havent changed the default password that MTNL has set on the box of course.
You cant close these ports to external access. I have confirmed this with DLINK. The current firmware doesnt support this.
The most you can do is move your http access to another non standard port.
Check this article out and you'd understand what I mean..
