    It's not that no one can help it's more like no 1 gives fook about VM hacking as with most case's they can't keep modems online long enough so have gave up the fight, I on the other hand am writing this message with a hacked VMDG 280.

    Appreciate the reply Ureye!

    I must admit I gave up on all that messing about a long time ago as well.
    It was getting pointless because I spent more time resetting and changing macs than I did online.Hidden Content
    In the spirit of the site, I just thought someone might like to help out for old times sake? Hidden Content

    Never say never, take some time and search thru google and read thru some guides and get a better understanding how Docsis works then if you need help on something specific I'm sure we could help.

    Re: my sb4200 and my 255 modem both wont let me on net now!!

    basically both macs are down, vm has put macs in catagories, docsis, 1.0, 1.1, 2.0, 3.0 (without looking it up)

    macs need to have a certificate in order for them to work, your 255 will self cert a 1.0 or 1.1 mac or you can bypass it,

    to keep thing simple, if you modem is showing "operational", go to your "local area connection" on your pc, (without a router) and click on "details" you ip address will tell you if the modem is truely online or not

    depending on your area depends on the ip address bu tnormally is starts with a 2 digit number, ie 92.234.0.91

    if you have 192 as a start its a highger docsis and your modem hasnt signed the cert
    if its 169 then you modem is no longer talking to the pc and has been kicked off

    if you do get a 169 ip and have set the 255 to bypass just unplug the modem, get the gui login ready, ie 192.168.100.1 , wait for the second led on the modem to flash and then login and change the mac as quick as possible before your kicked off again, or remove the cable feed

    as for the 4200, go to the hack page Hidden Content
    note the max up and down speeds, a fake/ non signed cert will return a speed of 32000 on both telling you its fake and not operational

    you will get speeds like
    Maximum Download Speed 20480000 bps
    Maximum Upload Speed 768000 bps

    so 20Mb if your lucky like me Hidden Content

    Re: my sb4200 and my 255 modem both wont let me on net now!!

    well it sounds as the one that has stopped may have taken a hit, i assume you can still login to the gui and change the mac? and that the modem locks in, a lot of the time the frequency is reset to 0,

    as you are using three different areas so three different ubr's it might well be that that mac is now logged as a clone

    Usein 3 modems with the same mac is dumb your gonna kill the mac from the legit sub modem. No wonder most people don't wanna help others.
