Anyone got Webstar cable modem drivers to d/l ?

As subject (Blueyonder problem)

Tried to sort out a full reinstall on a relatives` machine and I think
her driver CD is goosed - webstar.exe bombs out, and depending on how you
install it (manually etc) it either fails or thinks its ok and then fails
following a reboot...

(It was a clean reinstall of 98se)

Failing that, can you simply bung a network cable to the back of it, and
"connect via lan" ?

TIA...

Think i`ve found some, but i`m a little puzzled - the original set were
about 4Mb, v2 of the drivers is about the same, and v3 is 49k zipped ?!?

If you don't get an answer here, connect to the news server
"news-text.blueyonder.co.uk" and ask in one of the internal blueyonder
groups news:blueyonder.users.self-help or
news:blueyonder.discussion.hi-speed

There's some on the Scientific Atlanta website
[http://www.powertv.com/consumers/web...downloads.htm] and I
was surprised that I couldn't find these linked from our own helpsite,
so I've mailed the editor today also.

No matter what we did we couldn`t get the USB drivers to install - `doze
just insisted that it couldn`t find the drivers on either the BY disc
(with the connection helper - also tried doing the automated install
via that), the webstar install disc, or either of the two versions I
downloaded (v2 full I think, and v3 update from the SciAt website).

We`ve since thrown a network card in and connected via bog-standard
network cable, rang tech support to get the MAC address added, but as yet
(1.5hrs or so later) it still isn`t playing ball - although I know it can
take up to 24 hours to propagate through the network. We have tried
power-cycling the modem throughout this to see if that solved the
problem.

The PC is a standard generic clone I knocked together a while ago, but I
don`t have any other USB devices to hand to check whether its the modem
at fault or otherwise - it was working until a few days ago though.

I believe you can connect to the modem via a browser - can you confirm
how ? I tried pointing IE to 192.168.100.1 (spotted that on site
somewhere) but got nothing (webstar DPX100 if that helps).

No device errors now the network card is in (the USB was a pain in the
ass, spent about 6 hours trying different things to get the drivers in) -
strangely after the network card went in, the drivers for the webstar
seemed to go in ok, but still wouldn`t connect.

Any other clues you might be able to give would be appreciated - the
machine is currently configured to connect via LAN, which I assume will
be correct with using the network card rather than USB now...

Hi

If you've registered the new MAC address then I suggest you also make sure
that the USB drivers are completely removed from the system. You should
also power-off the cable modem for a while (try a few minutes), if that
doesn't work leave it off overnight. Next morning power-on the CM and let
it get a connection then plug in and power-on the PC, that should do it. If
you have any further problems or questions visit the Blueyonder forum at
www.cm-forums.co.uk
