Ambit 250 and Ambit 256 wont come online now, both running haxoware

[ant16151189]

Ok basically i have 2 modems, 1 is ambit 250, and the other ambit 256.


they are both running haxoware rev 32,

my ambit 256 has been running for more than a week now using a 2mb mac and using cm-20480-768 to force it to 20.

was working very good, also my ambit 250 has been recently upgraded from infinite to haxoware, and i set it up correctly and used a 20mb mac that was working for 1 full day.

now this is what happen i took my ambit 250 round my mates house so we could play gears 2 online on xbox 360, all was good untill like 3 in the morning where it goes xbox live disconnected.

so i checked modem on haxoware page and it gave me this message

Acquire Downstream Channel Done
Obtain Upstream Parameters Done
Upstream Ranging Done
Establish IP Connectivity In Progress
Retrieve Time of Day Waiting
Negotiate security Waiting
Receive configuration Waiting
Register connection Waiting
Cable modem status Ranging Complete

i havent tried changing macs or any other settings as it was working fine till then.

then i got home to see if my ambit 256 was fine, i went on internet checked my emails and stuff then the webpages stopped loading.

then got the same message as above.

also heres the log

ok my ambit 256 has just started working again after being down a couple hours.

just wonder why it went off.

also went i check on the gui on haxoware i notice the memory goes down in the top right hand corner it starts at 11% then eventually goes down to like 1%.

is that meant to happen or not.

will check my ambit 250 later to see if that ok cause left it round my mates.

hi there
sorry i know this has nothing to do with your post but i have a quick question if you can help me out and don't mind i have a ambit 250 and a 255 i want to get back online i think there still on invinit software because they went off quite a while ago so i have been reading about haxoware will it be easy to do to and expensive to get them back on line or should i just forget about it as this sort of thing seems to be going over my head

any help would be greatly appreacaited thank you

I throught i would ask as you seemed like you was in the same boat as me


thanks

the first thing i would do is upgrade from infinite to haxoware.

haxoware is very easy to set up once you have a good mac.

first thing i would do is NOT force anything and try other macs mate untill you get online, then change NIC macs router macs all should be fine and you should get online also when going round your mates do a scan there from his modem if he has 1

hi
thanks for that do i need any special equipment to upgrade or is it just going to be software because i was reading about a max 232 cable and opening the modem up and pluging it onto the chip board or will it just be typeing the web address and going from there

also would it be better to run the modem on usb rather than ethernet as i keeping seeing nic mac whatever that is so was wondering weather that would be better to just run it via usb as you don't have to change your nic so i have seen if that is right or was i wrong ?

but i just seen that there is know usb on the 255 so there goes that idea

thanks again for your help sorry to bonbard you with all these questions another newbie for you

thanks

Go to start, connect to, show all connections

Right click on local area connection, then properties.

Then click internet protocol/(tcp/ip) and then properties again


Then change the following

IP Address: 192.168.100.10
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 192.168.100.1
Leave any other settings alone and hit OK.

2. Set up a TFTP server (using solar winds) with haxorware11rev32.bin in its root (same folder)

3. Make sure the haxorware web gui isn't currently open (the internet browser closed)

4. Connect to modem with PuTTy,

Set host name (IP) set to IP 192.168.100.1

Telnet highlighted and port set to 23 and click open.

5. Enter your username and password





If after entering username and password loads of frequency starts coming up and going crazy all over screen don’t worry just copy and paste this command in for it to stop

cd \cm_hal
scan_stop
cd \




Then Copy the below command,

cd /ip
ipconfig 1 release
y
dload -i 1 -l -f 192.168.100.10 haxorware11rev32.bin
y
cd /
reset



Then just right click on the PuTTy application window. And paste in the command ( I use ctrl+v)


Haxorware 1.1 should now boot.

i will provide the links you need for the programs for this.

[ant16151189]

right heres the links

PuTTY Download Page

download putty.exe


heres link for haxoware rev 32

Haxorware


and link for solar winds

http://www.soft82.com/get/download/w...s-tftp-server/

Also missed some instructions

2. Set up a TFTP server (using solar winds) with haxorware11rev32.bin in its root (same folder)

Once you installed solar winds go to c drive then tftp root

And copy and paste in the folder haxorware11rev32.bin

Then run the tftp server from solar winds

Click file then configure, then highlight tftp root, then click the haxoware11rev32.bin file then click ok.

Then go to file configure, security and click transmit and receive files then click ok

Now just minimise the program.

3. Make sure the haxorware web gui isn't currently open (the internet browser closed)

Now connect modem to pc/laptop by Ethernet cable and don’t have the virgin media fibre optic cable connected to modem,

So just power supply connected to modem and Ethernet from modem to pc

4. Connect to modem with PuTTy,

Set host name (IP) set to IP 192.168.100.1

Telnet highlighted and port set to 23 and click open.

5. Enter your username and password





If after entering username and password loads of frequency starts coming up and going crazy all over screen don’t worry just copy and paste this command in for it to stop

cd \cm_hal
scan_stop
cd \


Then Copy the below command,

cd /ip
ipconfig 1 release
y
dload -i 1 -l -f 192.168.100.10 haxorware11rev32.bin
y
cd /
reset


Then just right click on the PuTTy application window. And paste in the command ( I use ctrl+v)


Haxorware 1.1 should now boot.

to access haxoware setup page go to http://192.168.100.1/

[ant16151189]

Then once haxoware rev 32 is installed you will need to set it up

go here to view what you need to do
