Newbie needs help with Surfboard 5100i - Techwatch Support Forums: Digital & Satellite TV, FTA, Cable, Computers, Mobile Phones, Apple and General Tech Forums

Hi

I am in the Edinburgh area, and have purchased a Scientific Atlanta 2100 and a
surfboard 5100i from a third party whom i can no longer get in touch with.

The modems were working fine until Sunday of this week when they both went down on the same day.

I have heard that I can reconfigure them both via IE and editing the modem firmware from there by changing some settings (the tftip address I think).

I can access the modem via 192.168.100.1 but am unable to change any settings so I am assuming there is another page that I should go into.

The firmware on the modem is Infinite.

Can someone please help I am in desperate need to get this sorted

its not infinite on a 5100

192.168.100.1:666 or 192.168.100.1:1337

sorry i believe it is the mac address i need to change - I have
a working mac at the moment - 20mb.

Have search forum on how to change this but have only come up with
192.168.100.1:666 but this does not work.

On my working modem the address is 192.168.100.1/rgconnect.asp but am
unable to change settings can someone advise me as to the correct address.

I will connect up the 5100 and check the software on that.

Appoligies if I have it wrong.

Hi you were right it is sigma - x2:version 1.0(build 128)
sorry for the confusion.

I have changed the mac to the same one on my other modem
which is using the infinite software is there anything else i need
to change.

all I needed to change was the tftp thought
I had done something wrong when I changed the mac
but all is working fine now even with the new mac.

Once again, I thankyou for your help

Just out of curiosity and for future reference can anyone
inform how to change the tftp address on the infinite software.
