Im in the NN1 area (Northampton) I just called and spoke to Emma (scotland i think) And she upgraded me no problems

Have to get home and check then will report back

Here is an interesting experiment for anyone with an Ambit120 modem who's not a chicken like me. Visit http://192.168.100.1/P_engineer.htm Change the image name from `ntlhm120_ntl0001.cpr` to `ntlhm120_ntl0002.cpr` and click the SUBMIT button. I'm wondering if that would force a download of the upgraded firmware and hopefully pick-up the 10Mb service profile.

Well, then.. Pass. Was that error 404 after you clicked submit or the engineer's page didn't show.

My SACM is behind a LinkSys router and when I go to that page I'm presented with a page titled `Engineer Page for Downloading Image`. It has the TFTP server IP address pre-typed as 62.253.189.100 and the image name pre-typed as `ntlhm120_ntl0001.cpr`. Below that two buttons. Left button is RESET and right button is SUBMIT.

Whats the difference from a Warm restart of the modem (using the configuration screen) and a Cold restart (unplugging the modem power) and does anyone have any technical info about these cable modems and how they work?

Once i get started with things i need to know it all!

haha!

EDIT: or any information on the even log and error messages? guess i am asking for an engineers handbook or something

It was when putting in the url. As if it cannot be found

Well, I'm not bluffing. When I click the URL from the message I posted the username and password prompt apprears. `root` goes in both of tham and that engineer page does appear. Unless (can someone verify this?) you already have the new firmware and this engineer's page is disabled, or moved/hidden? A screen shot of the page is here.

In the screen shot the URL has `cable-modem` and not `192.168.100.1`. That's because I've set that name in XP's hosts file so IE can remember the username and password.

haha i belive you! honest

When i try to go to the link i use root/root and get the Page Error.
I have a 120SACM and ntlhm120_ntl0001.cpr

oh well i still plan to call ntl again tonight to discuss some technical aspects of the cable modem and 10meg and all that with them. Hopes I get a techy person on the line.

[Acathla]

oh well i just did a Warm Start and guess what! ntlhm120_ntl0002.cpr!!

Still 3meg but I am calling them tonight now!

How do you do that? I can't find a restart button on mine!

[Acathla]

Set Ethernet Type Option

DONT change anything then do Save and Reset Cable Modem

EDIT: its handy for me as i can reset my modem over VNC whilst at work
