Hi all.Going round in circles,now desperate for help please.
Bought modded 250 off flee-bay.

Booted up 250 configurator,entered password & username as instructed,then hit connect.
All remaining fields filled in automatically as promised via seller except for Mac address & TFTP IP which i entered myself.
The status reads at this stage
"Online- settings read ok"

Then instructed to to hit "write settings" key

Status now reads
"Offline - Settings updated - rebooting modem"
The curser by this time goes back to the "Tuner Type" box and flashes
the numbers in that box.
Nothing then happens!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Note:
a)No cable connection at this stage
b)Entered mac addy from adjoining UBR
c)Have re-checked TFTP IP

Anyone throw any light on this please please please please please!!!!!!!!!

PS: How will i know when i'm on-line and safe to connect cable feed?
