Hi pepole
right im new here so be nice
I have bought a new modem from ebay and need a mac address to get it to work. telewest are saying that i can only use modems supplied by them. however im told this can be done with a little expert help
thanx in advance
Sorry but it won't work.
You need to have a cable modem given to you from Telewest themselves when you open an account with them.
It will only work for that given address and needs to be officially registered by Telewest.
We keep on telling people time and time again, that modems bought off ebay will not work.
If you have registered for an account with telwest, you will have been supplied with a modem.
no im not trying to modify it i already have a subscription with telewest, i just wanted to use it on a second conection for a xbox360. only one connection would be used at a time. just didnt wanna f**k about with wirless routers and all that cr*p
Routers are very easy to set up.
Modem plugs in to the router and then each computer talks to the router either wired with ethernet cables or wirelessly.
It is very easy to set up, and would be a lot cheaper than having to pay for two connections.

Yes it can, however this expert help is illegal, so we don't allow discussion of it on these forums.

Log into selfcare and order the dual connector kit.
....and you can use the modem you bought as an expesive paperweight :P
