hey just cloned my first modem its a ntl 200 modem i did all the steps as my friend told me but now nothing is happening only the usb light and u/s are not light up i have been on the 192.168.100.1 site and when looking over the cable modem status i came accross this

Cable Modem Status

Procddure Status Comment


Acquire Downstream Channel 586750000 Hz Locked

Connectivity State OK Operational

Boot State OK Operational

Security Disabled Disabled

basically it says that the acquire downstream channel 5867hz is locked could this be the problem cheers all :nopity:
 
It should say locked m8 thats normal...

Your obviously connecting using ethernet ...have u tried a usb cable just to make sure it isn't your ethernet cable or ethernet port setup thats the problem ?

Is the ethernet port enabled on your pc ...are u using the ethernet cable that come with the modem ?

Have u tried to repair the connection in network connections ?
Do you have a small network icon (2 monitor screens) by the clock that says yr connected or does it have an "!" mark on it saying limited connectivity ?

HTH
Cheers
 
i got both screens but they aint lighting up they are sending but not recieving if thats any help
 
also im using the modem wires that im using now which is with my paying ntl box all wires and ethernet cards are same i duno
 
could it be th mac address you are using .
have you tried other macs on the modem ?
 
i had this happen to me it turned out to be the mac i was using was from an area outside the range if you know what i mean , it was from somewere about 12 miles away
 
ive tried 2 macs now but still no joy both doing the same thing the macs are from about 10-15 miles away from myself how far away do u have to be to get a mac that will work or so it will not be too far away
 
10-15miles is too far away

needs to be around 3-9 miles away
 
ah right best get some new macs then hmmm this is hard work lol cheers ntlhell matey
 
My m8 lives in bolton but he's analogoue only he can use his modded digi box but dosent get all the channels missin sports 1 & 2 (unlucky lol) an some others. R you sayin you gotta subbed digi box with bb through stb (i aint sayin i doubt ya maybe diff areas of bolton have digital) but what youve described is the same sort of behaviour that my mates modem displayed when we hooked up his modem to the stream in his area check the ip address his showed summit like 192.168.100.3
 
i think its like some other guy said mate he said cos its over 10 miles the signal is basically to weak to get to myself in bolton i have a modded ntl digital tv box which has a splitter running to my cable modem but i think i need to get a mac from atleast 3-9 miles away so that it can get a good signal if ya get what i mean lol cos i dont lol

Don't think there is an upper limit for distance. I've had modems working with MACS from hundreds of miles away. Only criteria I was aware of is that the modem you clone cannot be on the same UBR as your cloned modem
 
ive tried 4 macs now and not one of them has worked all doing the same thing all lights are light up but no internet coming threw any suggestions mate?
 
Did u check ya ip address m8? [start>run>cmd in new window type ipconfig an hit enter if the ip starts 192 then youve either got no signal or the mac ya usin isnt recognised by the cc's DHCP server in your area (head end)]

if the ip starts 169 then theirs a connection prob between modem an pc

if the ip ends between 248-255 then mac isnt registered

Only thing i can suggest if your 100% you live in a digital broadband area is to run DHCP Force an use on of the macs u find just to see if you can connect to make sure youve cloned ya modem properley you'll only be able to get an intermittent connection but it'll prove whether or not its a mac prob or a summit ya doin wrong if you dont pick up any macs usin DHCP Force within 24 hours the probability is you cant get broadband. Why not giv n*l a buzz an check availability in your area.
 
i do have ntl broadband mate what i pay for so i know there is ntl here lol sorry think i give you wrong end of the stick lol sorry mate cheers for ur support tho much appreciated
