try connecting directly to the modem, and make sure you click repair connection, does it come up with it can't renew the ip address? if it does, the macs may not be suitable for that area

The MACs that you are using may not work in his area.

for certain there is nothing wrong with the flash

your friend has either been cut or he's in a different UBR no matter if he is only 900 yards down the road

reset the event log, then take the modem to your friends, let it run and tell us what it says

I assume you have returned it to factory settings at your mates house?

Spoof your nic mac with Smac then try connect look in the downloads for it..

Also if you have a cable box anywhere try that see if the line is not dead

if that don't work then your defo cut off..

if you don't have ask your mate to lend his for a few mins.

How do you check this mate? Any pics or diagrams?

I'm due to be disconnected shortly because I can't afford to pay the bill. Do they just send a guy to the pit and unplug me or do they do something remotely? Are the cables/sockets numbered in the pit so you know which one is yours?

usually they just disconnect the mac account, but recently they've been hard cutting, its a 50/50 chance if they hard cut you
