just right click on ur local area connection go to status then support then details
and u should see dhcp server xx.XXx.xx.xx thats ur tftp server ip
 
are you programming the usb mac only? i could never get a usb port to connect to the net subbed or otherwise :(
 
Cheers gentlex i'll give that a go

No i've not touched the usb English am guessing it was already set up like that when i got it i've noticed myself that its there, but I havn't set it up.
Its for the 360 anyways so it wont get used.

Cheers guys
 
sorry to hijack the thread, but i have a similar problem.
I have tftp server running for the modem to get config file from, but where do i get the config file from??

to get 10 mb use this config file

ntl cmreg-ntlhm250-bund03.cm

tw cm-10240-384
 
i get waiting for tftp server, do i ohysically need the xx.cm files in the tftp directory.... if so where do i get these cm files from.
forgive me for being a little thick, but it appears that the modem is trying to connect to the tftp server for the config files, but I don't have them????
 
Sounds like that's where i'm getting confused, it's pulling from the cable company's tftp not mine!!!! DOH
When the tut says "your tftp server" it doesn't actually mean mine, but the tftp server of the cc!
