I connected the PAP2-VN directly to the NETGEAR Router I according to the tftp the file has been successfully transferred. However, it does get the file every 20 seconds and restarts. I tried to access to the web interface but it still password locked. In order to have the file requested to the tftp server the NETGEAR router needs to be connected to internet, otherwise, there is not file request. Any ideas? The unit is still locked.
It seems your local DNS setup did not work.
Rule #1: Never connect to Internet before the PAP2 is unlocked and provision is turned off.
Tip #1: Always use Wireshark or Ethereal to monitor and record what happened.
Tip #2: Before connecting PAP2 to your setup, use a second PC in place of PAP2 to check DNS and tftp setup. The second PC should get the cfg file when make tftp request to domain name of the tftp server (e.g. "tftp.viper-deltathree.com").
There are many ways to setup the system with DHCP, DNS and tftp, it is important to verified the setup with the second PC.
In my case, I turned off "using DHCP", assigned static addresses for the PAP2 and the PCs (e.g., 213.137.73.100 and 213.137.73.74).
Making DNS work for Window was most challenging for me. "bind", "PowerDNS" and "Redirect" are free but not easy to use. Even for SimpleDNS I had to edit the ini file to put in server address 213.137.73.74. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19490183 Thu, 22 Nov 2007 07:32:04 EDT Re: Unlock Linksys PAP2-VN http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19488828 Dan_voip :

Probably when the router is connected to the internet PAP2 is taking the file from the real 213.137.73.74
I would do the following:
- setup your wireless card on DHCP or just temporary disable it to be sure doesn't have an internet connection
- setup the static IP address 213.137.73.74 on the LAN
- install and run a DHCP program and setup the range to someting like 213.137.73.100 ; you can use tftpd32.exe for DHCP and TFTP (»tftpd32.jounin.net/)
- connect pap2 to the computer with a crossover cable (could work with a straight one, but with crossover will work for sure)

You can have Ethereal running to see what is happening]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19488828 Wed, 21 Nov 2007 22:18:27 EDT Re: Unlock Linksys PAP2-VN http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19488631 danramos : I connected the PAP2-VN directly to the NETGEAR Router I according to the tftp the file has been successfully transferred.

I have a laptop with wireless connection and a LAN port. The wireless is connected to a netgear router. This router is not connected to the internet. My wireless connection in my laptop is set up with ICS so the LAN port should share the wireless connection. The wireless connection has this IP address: 213.137.73.74 . Then I am using pumpkin as the tftp server which set to give and get all files. The tftp directory has the cfg file that unlocks the PAP2-VN. I have the PAP2-VN connected to AC and then I connected to the LAN port of my computer. Nothing happens. If I check the IP of the PAP2-VN by dialing ****110# I get 0.0.0.0 However if I connect the PAP2-VN to the netgear router, I get 213.137.73.75 (I guess it takes this IP because the one ending on 74 is already taken by my wireless connection).

My pap2 doesn't search for "lsys$MAC.cfg" file at tftp server "213.137.73.74" as butlerj2000's provisioned PAP2-VN.
How do you know that it isn't asking for the file? Are you using Ethereal/Wireshark? I have a couple of pap2-vn's and they all are trying that address.

Here is what I do. I have a computer with two NICs. The main NIC I set with an IP of 213.137.73.74 and use Internet Connect Sharing (ICS). The second NIC is connected to the pap2 using a crossover cable (I think a regular will work on a pap2) and have a tftp server running. The pap2 will attempt to get the file after about 20 seconds. This file I created that has no passwords in it. So after the pap2 gets the file - there are no more passwords in the unit. If you do a factory reset, then all the -VN stuff loads, but otherwise you can use it on any other service. PM me with your email address for the file.
I was using "Wireshark" without tftp server running. I will try the configurations you have suggested. Thanks for the detailed instructions.
I found another excellent post by you
»Re: RT31P2 Unlock thoughts??
I may need to "provision" my new PAP2-VN but I will try without "provision" it first.
It seems I also need a DNS server, the PAPs started to send DNS request "Standard query A Viper tftp.deltathree.com".
I will download the "simpledns" dns server.
I have limited knowledge on networking and have learned a lot in a couple of days. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19377205 Sat, 03 Nov 2007 16:05:35 EDT Re: Unlock Linksys PAP2-VN http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19377139 yahoo2003 :

try this admin password 7756112 or 8995523 or 50274537
Ain't these admin passwords set by Vonage through some provisions? If so, then they are not going to work because the OP has a PAP2-VN from Verizon unless Verison is so stupid to use the same admin password through their provisions.
It is true those passwords are for Vonage firmware to reset PAP2 using IVR.
I can reset my new PAP2-VN without password through IVR.
My problem is I could not get into web interface without password.
I have never connected my PAP2-VN to internet. I installed sniffer and found only outgoing messages are:
"Gratuitous ARP for 192.168.1.100", "Who has 192.168.1.1? Tell 192.168.1.100".
I found DNS address for my PAP2-VN is "213.137.73.254" by IVR.
My pap2 doesn't search for "lsys$MAC.cfg" file at tftp server "213.137.73.74" as butlerj2000's provisioned PAP2-VN.
I am not sure this is because my PAP2-VN is still a "virgin" or because I did not connect my router to internet.
I found only butlerj2000 and meister_sd tried to unlock PAP2-VN by software last year without success.
I believe meister_sd is the only person posted ways to unlock any PAP2s including PAP2-VN by hardware. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19376374 Sat, 03 Nov 2007 13:02:05 EDT Re: Unlock Linksys PAP2-VN http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19375598 mazilo :

When I typed "192.168.1.100" in web browser, I was asked user name and password. I have tried different user names and passwords (e.g., "user" and "1234") and no success.
When I tried tftp I was asked user name and password again.
Does anyone know the user name and password for PAP2-VN?
I have heard some hardware hacks (jumper the EEPROM to put it into "safe mode" or remove and reprogram the EEPROM), but I would like to know if there is a way to unlock it without using a solder iron and programmer.
