probably because the one u cloned isnt on YET

hi thanks but i have tried about 7 different ones and they stay on for different lengths of time this one i have on at the min tho on my own gateway has stayed on over an hour now lol
 
lot of peeps turn off the modem when pc aint on....youll probably find itll go off later once theyre on

we are all working and testing different ways for these 200's to stay on.

i would imagine in some cases it may take longer than 10 mins so obviously there isnt really a firm fix YET;)

indeed m8...they must have been playing with it for a while,i did have the odd disco problem back then and so did thompson both ntl
 
Yous are all living in the past,i seen a web page like that at the start of sep, there are ways around this, just use the search, its all there, theres lots of different mods on these 200's (the better one at the min, there is also a way round the 100-120's but they need the new firmware in order to work) : gun :

What i mean to say is, there is no deff way around this for everybody at the min, you just have to see what is right for you, i have done my 200 as follows

Put a mid mac on with No anti update commands at all. its going ok and has been for 1 week now without updating.

Done the same for my m8 and it updated, so i reflashed it back done the docsDevSwAdminStatus 3 command with a mid mac and its been ok for about 5 days.

My fathers i have put a moto mac on cuz no other one would stay on for more than an hour at a time and done the max_dload_tries 0 command as the docsDevSwAdminStatus 3 would not stay on.

This is why i say there is no complete fix at the min, BOUT THERE ARE WAYS ROUND IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! JUST TAKE THE TIME , THERE ARE SOME CLUES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! : gun :
 
i understand what your saying..its just having to go telnet through like 20 macs from a gateway to get maybe 1 thatll take and stay on...there must be a better way soon: santahat

ps L33t I do live in the past m8 lol
