Also, the drivers in post 5 work fine.

dont forget u can download them from the blueyonder website, and tech support can resend the software cd if u ring em!

I've got similar problems - I downloaded the drivers from the blueyonder and from the Motorola website and the same from here. They are all the same and the file you need is system file that doesn't execute. The tech support people at Blueyonder say that it doesn't work and I have to wait until next Monday for the CD!
Anyone help?

Odd. Mine were taken from the CD itself.

Which file is causing problems, if you know which one.

redredpoppy · 09-11-2006, 00:04

NetMotCM is the one. Its a system file. No extension.

Am I doing something wrong? I tried to open it several times and it doesn't open.

Is it a .sys or .ini or .inf file by any chance? It most likely IS the driver, and when running the Add New Hardware wizard in Windows XP, you would just select the directory containing that file and it should install it.

Since you have the Ethernet model, I strongly advise you use ethernet, USB is not too hot.

And just incase.
The legacy USB drivers for ex-Telewest modems can be found here, with instructions on how to save them.

I needed this too - worked a treat, thanks for making it available!

I tried these files, but they all seem to be for the motorola SB5101 not the SB5101E.

I have to admit they seemed to go on windows OK, but I can't connect to the intenet or even to the modem itself.

Can anyone confirm these drivers will work for the E version of the modem?

Many thanks!

Adara · 31-08-2007, 19:03

I have the SB5101E and the drivers in the zip file in post 5 worked perfectly

Rooonga · 31-08-2007, 19:14

Many thanks!

Maybe there are more settings I need to sort out then.

Glad they did mate

Rooonga, try switching off your modem and PC.
Connect the USB cable from one to the other.
Switch your modem on.
Wait 2 - 3minutes.
Switch your PC on.
Give it chance to fully load up... And try surfing.

If that doesn't work we can then try other steps in case.
