Hi I hope someone can help me.

I bought a SB 4200 from fleabay a few years ago and all has been well up until last week when service was lost. Initially there was a problem in the midlands region with virginiamedia but that was resolved and my modem cannot now connect to the internet.

I have read that you can get into the modems config file by going to 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.100.1 when i try to do this i get a page cannot be displayed. I have tried by connecting modem directly to my pc and connecting the modem to the router and using wireless. When doing this i do manage to get into the router's config.

Please can someone help?

Sounds like you might need a new MAC address or the firmware might need updating.

I had this problem when entering 192..... Into firefox but worked in Internet explorer.

infinite has ****ed up webpages that arent standards compliant, firefox wont work, IE will.

dont think it happens on hackware or any other 4x00 firmware tho

I use firefox and haxorware webgui works fine.

I can't believe that i cannot get into the config page. I'm just going to give up.

Any reccommendations for a new modem? Seen ambits 250,255 and SB 5101

Thanks

I've been asking about the Ambits. They seem to be the best choice at the moment

. Make sure it has P option available before you buy though otherwise you have a job and a half on your hands to get it enables or you could just buy a pre-modded one.

I found re-writing the bootloader was p!55 easy lol, did it about 8 times on one modem lol

Don't give up mate, it's the learning that makes it all worthwhile, not your d/l speed

I really would believe that if i actually felt as though i was doing something. Even if i was playing with settings screwing up etc it would all be a learning curve. But i can even get to the setup page and it's been like this for a week now. And i'm also tired of using my mobile as a modem!

Thanks for the heads up ambit it is then.

It will have to be a premodded one! Any reccommendations on hexorare or infinite?
