Ambit 256

[Trooperlee]

I have ambit 256 with haxor on, when i put a live feed to the modem and connect it up to pc all i get is the ethernet light and none of the others. when i go to 192 i can see it scanning but it doesnt lock on. Any ideas?

Have you set the correct frequency for your area?

i just reset fact default and started over again and it works

I'm having similar problems with my 5100 now. It's continually saying "ranging", I know this is a t3 timeout, and have looked around on the forums for a solution, to no avail. I have the correct frequency (402750000) for belfast, but the status isnt changing would it be mac or config file related?

thanks in advance.

if its ranging and timing out on a t3, try a new mac

im from belfast and for the past 2 or 3 days i have had trouble being onlone with a load of macs on 250,255 but as of last night no probs 20mb all the way
they are working on the lines cuz my mate in the east is now having a lot trouble like i had,your trouble could be this
i also chnaged my mac on my pc and my modem was alive again lol
only bummer thing is i have a ordered a 50mb modem now not sure to stop it

thanks ever so much, I tried an old mac that I had and it works a treat. now all i need is to use dhcp force and scan for config filenames. is there a way to use haxorware to download the actual files for autoserving?

Got the ranging problem sorted out m'man. just changed the mac address and bang on, it came up operational. for the macs that i have tried, they all come up with that stupid activate broadband page. I'm just wondering if autoserving a custom config will fix that problem. I know that I should try another mac, but the mac I'm using works on another modem on the opposite side of town :|

This is where I'm having the problems mate. I know how to set up autoserve, it's pretty straight forward (browse, upload file to modem... easy), I have tried the haxorware download manager and it times out from the tftp server, so I cant get to download the config file. I dont think that DHCP force lets me download them.
Does anyone know how to get them or know of a link to download the files from?

Thanks again
