Hi , just joined here --
can't get connected with my SB5101 @ 20 MEG anymore.....
only 2 MEG which is same as official connection !!!!!
When I configure modem with force cfg it doesnt connect, without it forced I get 2MB !!!

any help please

no help mate, you'll have to find or trade a 20Mb mac.
forcing doesn't work in a lot of area's now.

PS. no trading on this site.

Are you using the latest config names? and the correct TFTP server address?

gazzaman · 07-02-09, 11:51 AM

So my old MAC address wont work ?
I'm using old cfg file at moment, will try new ones and get back if it works.
Is it worth also trying all the new frequencies ?
I'm in ex-NTL area.

no just try what lee-ds said

gazzaman · 07-02-09, 03:09 PM

So where if not here can I trade MAC's ?
Also how do I know if I have sniffed out a 20M MAC if they have no packages assigned to them?

Thanks in advance

Google: trading macs and join the forum that comes up.

you use the macs that come with a config file.

gazzaman · 07-02-09, 08:32 PM

What are the new config speeds?
I mean what package = what speed?

Thanks, but I dont think those config files are relevent anymore.?
Only ones I see now are the following format --
cmreg-ntlhm120-rts98.
cmreg-ntlhm200-bas.cm

etc......
