thanks for the reply wats the best or the easiest infinate or haxoware

[TechWreck]

the `new kid on the block` is haxoware, I have not tried it personayl but it seems to do the biz, but for simplicity I would go for infinite,once you have mastered flashing its easy peasy putting your macs,tftp in using the Ambit config tool.
word of note look up `protecting your ambit 250/255,because if you dont you will just have a blue door stop on your hands

Can you explain more or give us a link pls think i may have fallen for this

You must protect the modem from backdoor attacks by changing the telenet default passwords which are `admin` and `Infinite` use the Ambit & 250 config tool to change them,nice and easy also best to change the serial number as well.if you go int to telenet and put these commands in for extra saftey

USE THIS GUIDE TO PROTECT YOUR 250 AND SB5101E

STEP 1

2 UNPLUG COAX (CABLE FEED) FROM MODEM
3 LEAVE POWER AND EHERNET IN ONLY
4 OPEN CONFIGURATOR 250 AND PRESS CONNECT
5 ON THE TOP LEFT ITS SAYS USERNAME AND PASSWORD
6 DELETE THE USERNAME AND PASSWORD AND ENTER YOUR OWN USERNAME AND PASSWORD
(YOU MUST REMEMBER IT TO LOG INTO AMBIT CONFIG TOOL)SO WRITE IT DOWN
7 PRESS WRITE SETTINGS AND WAIT UNTIL DONE
8 RESTART MODEM ( PULL OUT POWER LEAD WAIT 20 SECONDS THEN RECONNECT )

STEP 2

Thank you, i changed the username and password but didn't change serial number or anything else, will see if i can revive it if not just had a tidy round and found 2 more 250's

[TechWreck]

what has happened the 250 modem? has it stopped going online?,can you still get into telenet.modem settings page via internet explorer.
dont forget vermin have change the tftp for most of the country within the last month and you cant force configs so if you have the box ticked in the ambit tool it wont work

[Danielle]

tftp is ok used it on a friends modem that went done due to config file forcing was a Motorola never really messed with 250's before although one in question was a 255, followed guides got it sorted, would run for an hour then loose lease modem reboot needed, not had it online since, btw macs from ubr5 I'm 2 so aint that. Dont even get me started with the config tool what a pile of poo well for me and the 255 that is, refuses to comit some changes ie. config file, force config button, etc etc.... I have no other modems here right now so will mod a 250 then i know if it's the mac's or not, but i doubt that, was only scanned a week ago

[TechWreck]

better not get you started then Danielle I know what you women are like when you get p**sed off, lol.
I have never had probs with the ambit tool personaly, but I only have experience with ambit 250/5`s must be my gentle touch,lol.
good luck
