OK ive got it sorted now. Just realised it only saves macs with a config file attatched to it ! Dur !

Correct me if i'm wrong, but I think you can also you can eliminate the MACS found that have a 0.0.0.0 IP and TFTP as well I think as they won't work.

I'm having a problem with sniffing too.I see plenty of MAC addresses, but they are PC/router MACs (Dell,Cisco,Asus etc) and not modem MACs (Ambit..)..Do I just need to wait longer, or do I have something wrong?

Well ... yeah , you need to sniff through a virgin media line.

People say that you need an active VM internet connection to do it, but i've sniffed a couple with an unmodded 256 i had lying around.Mind you i only got a few back.

Any tips on how to get some 10meg macs? I seem to get only 2meg and only one of them is working, whilst the rest go off after a few minutes.

Cheers.
