1 edit |  Can't Telnet To A SpeedStream 5200 E240
Last Modem: SS 5200 E242
Replacement: SS 5200 E240
Note: Not sure why Sympatico shiped out a older rev. of
the 5200 series.
Modem Setup: Ethernet Connection
Problem: I've gone through the instructions on the Sympatico
FAQ section on howto Telnet to this Modem, but all attempts
fails.
No matter what I try, I can't seem too get any response from
the modem via Telnet at all.
Error:
telnet 192.168.2.1
Connecting To 192.168.2.1...Could not open connection to the host, on port 23: Connect failed
Modem IP Confirmed As: 192.168.2.1
Config Part#: 003-f093-G0H
Firmware Part#: 004-E240-A4R
(Once again this is a replacement modem just recived today,
and has not been messed with (firmware wise at all)
If anyone could give a helping hand or advice
that be great thanks. |

Marathon, ON | Nevermind, it seems that modems are now shipped with
the Hardware firewall turned on low to block things,
and also Telnet..
Turned it off and bam all fixed. |

Might be a good idea to add to FAQ as well. |

I'm having the same issue. Forgive my ignorance, but how can I turn of the built-in firewall? |

| First you must unlock your SS5200 Modem, (Taking into
count you havn't already)
»Unlocking your Speedstream 5200 E242
After its unlocked, the page design should change and be
orange type of bankground then goto the following and
turn off built in firewall this way..
»192.168.2.1/fwcfg.htm
(Turning off firewall will stop it from blocking traffic,
but will not forrward needed ports for servers and P2P/etc.)
»Port Forwarding with 5200.

| I've got too a replacement of my E242 (for a E240). After unlocking my E242, I did a few port-forward and then my modem died! No way to access it. When I call Bell tech they said that this modem was not working to be a router.
Can I do port forward with E240? --- but I will not try it anyway as I don't want to broke another modem  ( |

| Yes you can, but no matter what i did, the more traffic i had
on SS5200 E240 it just froze for no reason and was a bitch
to get it back...
All i can say is get them to replace it at all cost, or go
buy a compatible G.DMT Variable Virtual Circuit Modem.

@sympatico.ca |  I know this must sound lame, but how do you unlock the 5200 e240. Trying to setup a game server has been frustrating.
Thanks |

That has worked for both E240/E242 for me.
