Start a wireshark capture and then reboot the modem by disconnecting the power. When the modem boots up it should broadcast some traffic and give you it's currently configured IP.

If however the options file is incorrect then the Ethernet port will not come up. A far simpler solution is to console in with a console cable and watch the boot process.

Hi dot,

Thanks for your input.
I have connected the console cable and got a lot of scrolling text on my screen. I had to wait for it to finish scrolling and see what the first lines look like:

DRAM Test ................
DRAM Test Successful
+Ethernet eth0: MAC address 00:60:43:00:00:00
IP: 192.168.0.1/255.255.255.0, Gateway: 192.168.0.2
Default server: 192.168.0.2

I assumed that the above is the IP address but still could not login either using iSite or telnet session.
However, i phoned the previous owner and they gave the preconfigured ip address as 41.209.2.97, net mask 255.255.255.248. Why was i not able to see this preconfigured ip address at boot time with my console cable? How can one reset the modem to factory defaults?
I must say i have found Wireshark to be useful too. Before calling the previous owner of the modem i was able to establish the ip address. The only thing is how does one over ride the password?

Thanks for your postings.

What u want isnt really a problem,just console into the modem via hypertherminal and start with the >

username - root
password - idirect

Then u enter the next stage
type - telnet 0 nd enter
It will take u to anoda stage of logon

username- admin
password- ISP specific,but has the default most times P@55w0rd!

Wen u get past here u then type "laninfo" and u wil surely get the ip address of ur idirect box
