Unable to connect to Modem using Putty - Techwatch Support Forums: Digital & Satellite TV, FTA, Cable, Computers, Mobile Phones, Apple and General Tech Forums

I am attempting to upgrade my SA2100(EPC2100R2) from infinite to haxorware via an ethernet cable and have been receiving help from
ant1615 to do this.

I have however, developed a problem neither of us can solve and
have been advised to post another thread requesting help.

I have setup my properties and solarwind as per the instructions in the original thread
Change from Infinite to Haxorware Firmware

but when I try to connect with putty to the modem the programme just closes. I have tried to do this on two different computers both running XP
but with the same result.

Can someone please shed some light on this for me.

tcp connection failure

and your connecting directly?

rabby · 11-08-09, 11:18 PM

if you mean via ethernet then yes

I am able to connect to the webgui without any problems
but cant change any of the settings that I want to from there
hence the need to change to haxorware
