managed to flash the modem but not much luck placing a mac address on the modem. Using the ambit config tool 096. Have tried different combinations, forced tftp config, changed tftp server ip, changed tftp file name, no luck. In Pure N*L area. Used forced dhcp to get macs.

Paul, did you sniff for macs at home? you need macs from a different gateway mate..

paul001 · 03-10-07, 02:32 PM

Yes I did. But could I not use them just to test to see if the modem has been flashed and working. If not where can I get some macs for notts outside basford. Cheers

Paul, you cant use the same that you sniffed at home mate..

If you go into the FTA Download Section, there is a Mac Swap Thread.. have a read to see if anyone has requested for a Mac Swap in Notts.. if not request for a Mac Swap mate.. hopefully you will find someone in your area..

Hi
Tried the macs I was sent but no luck.
I tried one of the macs I sniffed out and it worked. I am using a modded modem to sniff out. Am i sniffing out macs from my own area or from the area the mod has been flashed to. Would this make a difference.

If you use a MAC from your own area, you will get disconnected when that modem comes online - you need mac's from a neighbouring area.

paul001 · 05-10-07, 03:16 PM

It has stopped working. I have tried macs from other areas but no luck I am using Ambit software. I even tried some of the macs you sent me on a cd when I purchased thre Motorl Surf from you, which I am using now. Any suggestions.

Paul, are you in C&W area? dont think some of the motorola Surf work in C&W area..

You can't use Ambit software on a Surfboard modem. To change the MAC on a Surfboard use you web browser and go to http://192.168.100.1/hack.html and enter the MAC in the HFC MAC box
