| 5200 FTP
I have some interesting information regarding the FTP login/password in the 5200. If someone else has already posted this information then I apologize.
The 5200 doesn't have a default login, this is set by Ethernet SNAP. All of the firmware updates and TangoManager do this. Once these programs finish using the FTP they reset the login.
I have created a program that allows you to create a login for the FTP. If anyone is interested I can upload it to this forum. |

Ok, here it is. I was only able to test it on WindowsXP but it should work on 98/ME/NT/2000.
If anyone has difficulties using it just post your problem and I'll try to help. |

Oh man, Why no IP options..
I have My IP set to 192.168.2.1 not 192.168.254.254..
My rare setup dosen't work.
I did however place my speedsteems IP in my localhost so if I DNS lookup speedsream it'ss go to my router IP.

The FTP login is not set using IP. It's set using a lower interface called SNAP that uses Ethernet to communicate. All you have to do is enter your modem MAC address and set the login. After that you just open your favorite FTP program and connect using the IP of your modem. |

Any other suggestions ICGabe?
BTW, thanks for sharing your program. |

Unfortunately I wasn't able to create a better mechanism to inform every possible error that can occur. Here are some tips:
1. Make sure the interface you select is the one that the modem is physically connected to.
2. Try to use an Ethernet card and not USB.
3. Shut down any programs that may be communicating with modem configurations, i.e. TangoManager, or any SNMP program.
4. Make sure to use the correct modem IP when connecting to the FTP.
5. Connect to the FTP immediately after setting the login as the login will expire after a short time.
6. Make sure to enter the MAC address in hexadecimal format, i.e. AA:FF:00:00:AA:88
7. When setting the login/password use a short one, i.e. 123/123
Since I have only my SpeedStream with Router firmware to use for testing I haven't been able to test all possibilities. If you can't get it to work let me know what your current OS/Firmware/connection is and I will do some more testing. |

Just thought I might show you all the FTP transaction with my SpeedStream modem.

| Thanks for the reply.
Here's my stats:
OS: WinXP Pro - Service Pack 1
Router Firmware: 004-E240-A21
Connection: Ethernet
NIC is right, MAC address is right, and no other programs are accessing modem. Tried connecting immediately after setting the FTP login/pass but still no go. I do see the router's light blink when I set the FTP info, but for some reason it seems to not be setting the values (even temporarily) |

Ok, your configuration is identical to mine. I'm going to try to add some more intelligence to the SNAP mechanism (the SendSanp.dll) so that we can receive confirmation from the modem that the packet was received.
There is one thing that I would like you to try though. If you still have the firmware update program (Update_E240_A21_70-7_1086-503.exe) try to run it (don't update just run it) and se if it finds your modem. This update program uses the same SNAP mechanism that mine uses, although with more intelligence.
Let me know what happens. |

I'll be happy to test out the new SNAP mechanism when you're ready and let you know how it goes. Thanks. |

Here is a revised version (1.1). I fixed some bugs in the packet that I think were causing only my computer to connect. In this version you will also receive confirmation that the modem received the packet.
Let me know if anyone has any success. |
