255 and hyper terminal problem or not

[DanUK]

I got a 255 modem and have connected to it using hyperterminal. i get to the pres '1', '2' or 'p' and i press p and it asks for ip. but when i go to type in the ip it is all gobble de goop. no numbers appear and i cant get any further.

im sure i am doing something so silly here. any ideas how tp put in the ip address correctly?

i feel like a bit of a knob asking but i think im close

Hello mate, first of all you should do a search as youre find all the answers your need (all noobs get told this)...
I reckon your 232 cable aint attached properly, as i has the same problem, jiggled the connections a bit and away it went, try this mate, if that dont work and after searching lol, ask again im sure someone can help as my knowledge is limited!

I am getting to the p option and pressing p. then i cant put in my ip address when ever i press the any number keys it just not coming up with any numbers? wierd.

I have been searching for about 5 hours today. It seems i am getting to the point where you put in the board ip address and thats it

Ok mate, like i said check all the connections going to 232 cable (modem end) if that dont work, you will have to wait for a more knowledgeable member to assist! Im a noob and all :d

Try using the white prong you connect to the modem another way mate i got this also make sure you manual set you ethernet to the 192.168.100.1 settings or it wont work! any more probs gimme a shout ive done loads of these now..

tried it round the other way and its not doing anything. I will try and explain it a bit better, whats happening here.

I bought this modem around august all ready flashed with infinite. now i could telent in to it using 250_configurator and change macs etc then middle of december the mac went down so i used 250_configurator but it would not let me telnet into it anymore(it says unable to open 192.168.100.1). so someone said get a max232 serial, and thats where i am today with the problem below, i have added a few extra bits highlighting whats going on.
i have tried all numbers along the top of the keyboard and it just dont type in numbers, its only screwing the keys up in hyperterminal. i have also used putty with same results.

Its really wierd. unless someone has seen this before its hard to describe what its doing.

once i press 'p' it comes up Board IP Address [0.0.0.0] :

then

if i press the number 1, it gives me a space
if i press number 9, it gives my a 0
if i press number 2, it gives me another space
and when i press the dot it clears the screen in hyperterminal.

also when i press the backspace key i get a ~
and when i press return it deletes like the backspace should do.

as i said the keyboard lets me put in the 'p' key ok. I have checked and double checked me settings, i have tried the cable other way round and get no results. i just have run out of ideas?
