Hi m8
If your modem has been subbed lately then it will have the latest vm update. this disables the internal telnet server.
You will have to flash with blackcat with the latest modded image i recommend HAXORWARE! this will enable the internal telnet server again.

If you need any more pointers then let me know.

Thanx for ur reply m8. K so i need to flash via blackcat, which i can do no problem. So I have haxorware (haxorware092.bin) file size is 1,011 kb. Do i flash this using the 'write all' button or just the 'write'? Lets take this 1 step at a time lol cause ive never done this before

james-warez · 23-09-08, 08:04 PM

Yea m8 just use the detect flash then write all button.

it will take around 40min to flash

you could also try just flashing the bootloader.

this will give you the /p console back

however this doesn't always work sometimes you have to do a full flash..

Hope this helps!

When i connect modem to pc, i dont get given a correct ip. Also im getting limited connectivity.. any ideas ?

james-warez · 25-09-08, 07:32 PM

Sounds like dhcp is disabled in the modem

Just assign your nick a static ip of 192.168.100.10
and gateway to your modems ip 182.168.100.1

Now try and get modems config page and do all settings!

After that reset the nick settings to auto!
