When you say you re-booted do you mean you re-booted the modem or pc ?
I guess its either a Ambit 250 or 255 ?

Sounds like you bricked it but could be wrong what model modem is it ?

Also can you access the 192.168.100.1 page ?
 
its a ambit 250 i can access the page and it says mac address and loads ov outher stuff it lets me log in as well
 
yep you can login with user&pass as root :)

Can you copy and paste the info from the Cable Modem Infomation page so i can see what the software says you can edit the Mac out dont need to see that part.

then its not brick... restart hyperterminal and also check ur connection, make sure its making good contact with pins on the modem and disable any firewall or antivirus and try again...
