Hi Ive got a Motorola Surfboard SB5100 flashed with Sigma-X Version 1.06 RC4 BETA1.
I recently switched it off, and when I switched it on again it wont work.
Ive tried putting different macs in with no success. Can anyone Please help.

Thanks in advance

we need more info what lights do you have any logs from modem, without those its pure guess work

The lights light up in succesion untill it gets to the online light, then it starts the proccess again

so modem don't boot up correctly not sounding good, tried to plug the backcat in and see if you can reflash it?

No Not yet.
What firmware would you reccommend?

5100mod for a 5100

also, is this on ntl part of the network?

try entering "cmbus-pkg3-nat-any.cm" as the config filename with no tftp address.

i had a modem dying due to the config it was recieving even tho the mac was legit. forcing that config worked (its a pretty basic config around 440bytes, compared to 4400 bytes for ex ntl configs)
