Have I bricked my Ambit 250? - Techwatch: Satellite TV forums, FTA, Cable, Hardware, & Tech forums

I was putting in a new mac using the NTL Config software when I also thought it would be a good idea to uncheck the 'enable telnet' box.

Ever since then I've been unable to connect to the modem using the NTL configurator. Is there anything I can do to get it back to normal? The modem has Infinite firmware but I do not have a flashing cable.

With ambit config tool, do a read and see what you get back in the little screen.

If u connect via serial (rs232) password is not required so you can reset it
