the Hardware firewall turned on low to block things,
and also Telnet..
Turned it off and bam all fixed. |

| 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.
