Trouble Changing Mac address! - Techwatch Support Forums: Digital & Satellite TV, FTA, Cable, Computers, Mobile Phones, Apple and General Tech Forums

Hi, im working on a ntl255 modem, everything seemed to be going good, but when i tried writing the address for the first part of my new mac, i recieved an error stating that i had used Unrecognized/unused parameter(s).

The second part of the mac wrote ok.

I can write the first part of the mac as: aa bb cc dd. And it writes ok.

But when i try to write a real mac, i get errors.

I've attached a copy of some of the text from HyperTerminal, and would be very greatfull if someone could have a quick look for me.

Thanks,
Steve.

It would be easier to use one of the configurators, but I see what you've done wrong:

Code:

CM> cd \write_memory -s 4 0x807e8b98 0x00d059f6

Should be:

Code:

CM> cd \
write_memory -s 4 0x807e8b98 0x00d059f6

IE cd \ (press enter)
write_memory -s etc

You were attempting to CD (change directory) to write_memory and there is no such directory.
