Hi every one,

Seen as though people in ex C&W areas are having little to no luck with test fix 0.3 or anything for that matter can anyone help me sniff for ambit200 and 120 macs as these modem macs seem to work great with forcing and staying connected as the modems in question are so old they don't support BPI properly and that, and other things im sure seems to be whats screwing the more sophisticated 250/255/256 models over at the moment.

I use DHCP sniffer to find my macs in brute force mode so that the macs that are returned can be used on my ubr as i have no one who i can trade with or anyone in a different ubr to scan for me. Now i carnt remember where i read this probably here but i believe this sniffer returns macs for the same type of modem that is being used to sniff for example ambit250 = 255/250/256 mac 5100SB = 5100/5101 ect so to find ambit 120/200 macs do i need to use an older modem with the sniffer or have i just been fed wrong information and the fact that no 120/200 macs show up is because everyone around my area has new modems???

Thanx to anyone who can clear this up for me.

You need to use a 120 Mac as a base Mac in DHCPsniffer mate.

Macs starting with: 00: D0 & 00:02 (spaced the :&D due to smiley)
