20 Meg Move for My Friend - Techwatch Support Forums: Digital & Satellite TV, FTA, Cable, Computers, Mobile Phones, Apple and General Tech Forums

Hi guys

I'm back again

My friend { Mr N }, lives in Bradford. I was wondering if he is not in an NTL Area could I use the modified 250 Modem like I used it for myself to get him 20 Meg broadband ?? Or does he HAVE to be in an NTL area for that to work ?

Any help on this matter would be much appreciated

Thanks

You can use the 250 in all 3 VM regions - you do need to set it up differently in ex C&W. Look in the Haynes Guide for details or use the Ambit tool.

Ciwan · 24-10-07, 04:13 PM

So you need to use a different tool to set up the modem ?? or is it the 250 configurator tool ??

lincsat · 24-10-07, 05:22 PM

The Ambit tool has more options for things to change - but see my post about the attack on these modems and keep it dis-connected for now.

Ohh I just came on here to tell you that my 20 Meg broadband (250 Modem) has stopped working

Also a friend mine...his has stopped working too

When I try connecting to the modem using the configuration tool I get this message:

[ Unable to open 192.***.***.* ] and it stays offline where as before it use to be Online

Please tell me this can be fixed

can this problem be fixed ???

lincsat · 24-10-07, 11:22 PM

There ia one very difficult fix around, there may be easier fixes, it's still way too soon to be sure.

Ciwan · 24-10-07, 11:23 PM

what is the fix ?? please tell me

I'll try and fix it

Remove the TSOP chip and re-program it from a working TSOP.

You will need some precision skills and a TSOP programmer - like I said, very difficult.

Ciwan · 24-10-07, 11:34 PM

I don't have a TSOP programmer

Is that the only way ??

Do I have to buy another modified 250 modem

?
