seen that before m8

have you entered the correct user name/pass in the configurator?

[philjoy]

he assures me its admin/infinite as it defaults to. is there any way to check what it is.

u got a max232 ? a serial connection dont need passwords. or u could reflash.

I had this error several times - it means either you are entering some settings wrong or not doing things in the right order i.e
1. at connection type select telnet enter other details and click on 'connect'
2. wait for it to read details(mac address etc) from the modem
3. then, change details and click 'write settings'

Invalid username/password (reboot modem before trying again)
is what my configurator says if i use the wrong name and password.
the comm error occurs only when there is no connection, is ur firewall blocking the app ?

if your passwords are admin/infinite you better change this really fast, cos they can update your modem when they like

anyone here know the pin configaration on a 250 modem?

i.e what one goes where from the max232?

thanks
