The only thing that stops is the way the mac address is laid out, the start has to be in a certain order i guess, from the info i got when a rang NTL multiple times. And the different models must have different start sequences for the mac address.
As long as it is one of the models the NTL let you use previously before they went to the cheapo types it will work.
But i can definatly say you CAN buy a motorola 4100 and use it with NTL, it DOES work.
Ya learn something new everyday =) |
Well from reading this thread I will address a few points.
Firstly there is such thing as a 5100 but this is normally for Telewest Customers.
Secondly if you have bought a 4100 and registered it with NTL you are very lucky and must have caught a Tech on an off day as they would not normally register this modem as they are no longer supplied by NTL.
MAC Addresses for these are usually in the range of 00:20, 00:04 or 00:08 which widely differs from the current range of supplied modems i.e. the terajet 00:E0 or the 100/120 00

Existing older customers are fine and can use their Motorolas but most will find it extremely difficult to register or re register this as a Modem so therefore you stating you can buy and easily register it is not very good advice.
Many will find if they have bought this from for example E-bay they will have bought nothing more than a door stop as they will find it increasingly hard if not impossible to register it for use.
