2.1 Arescom Modems
Welcome! Youre undoubtedly reading this because MSN provided you with the Arescom NetDSL 800/860 DSL modem, and it wont do something that youd like it to do. You cant disable the firewall, you cant forward ports, and you cant share your internet connection without buying another router. Well, search no more!!! Herein, you will learn how to do these things, and more. Before I get any further, I must express my thanks to tommy2guns from the broadbandreports.com msn forums. T2G is credited with identifying the J3 Console connection well be using to configure these modems. Now, go and get a screwdriver so we can get started! The console connection located at J3 on the Arescom NetDSL 800/860 provides a serial communication connection using 3 volt levels versus standard RS232 voltage levels. A Maxim-IC MAX3232 Integrated Circuit is designed to convert 3 Volt Serial communications to standard RS232 Levels. You can go to this web page linked below and order the A232DB. When ordering, be sure to request the 3 volt version in the comments section on the order page. Connect the circuit/cable to your Arescoms J3 connector and to an available COM(serial) port on your PC. Hold down the space bar with Hyperterminal up and running (9600,8,n,1) And you'll see: NBfs1 PP Boot 2.0 SDRAM size = 0x400000 Key pressed, stopping boot. Entered console ... User request. At the Prompt, type: ]fdw 10000 b And you'll see password1(12345678@msndsl.net), and password2(A12BCd3efg): 00010000 460119ea 13000100 33303539 37353430 '...F....12345678' 00010010 6e736d40 2e6c7364 0074656e 0a000200 '@msndsl.net.....' 00010020 53383248 6834674b 0000666f 'A12BCd3efg..

Reassemble your unit. Port forwarding, DMZ, Multiple Users, all on an Arescom NetDSL 800/860! Youre free at last! by bilydkid1970 The router setup page for the Arescom DSL modem is like a Linksys router. It can be found by putting this address into Internet Explorer: http://192.168.1.1. Pics: »www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20913.. by redxii edited by nozero When you reconnect the power, it may take up to 10 minutes to regain synch. Still no synch? Call MSN tech support and tell them that you "cannot connect to the internet" and that "you do not have line synch". Found in this post. by nozero The Arescom's has a NAT address of 65.xxx.xxx. When running properly, and you find that you can't get on the internet and your NAT address has defaulted to 172.xxx.xxx.xx, then you can go to https://cpeconfig.dsl.msn.com. Once you are there, be prepared to enter your MSN sign on name (ex: abfdg@msn.com) and your personal MSN password from there. It will reconfigure your modem back to 65.xxx.xxx. Jokouo: As long as it is something besides 172.17.xxx.xxx you're okay. by lordzatez edited by redxii
Feedback received on this FAQ entry:
by redxii edited by nozero The LAN side of the Arescom uses TCPIP. Just set up your MAC's Ethernet connection to use TCPIP, to get it's IP dynamically via DHCP, and all the USUAL networking settings - DNS servers, Gateway of 192.168.1.1, etc. Posted here by bilydkid1970 |
