I plugged it in. I worked! you're awesome! Thanks!!! [Edit: Nope, nevermind, the problem is back. seems to be affecting both modems now... =S what to do !! anyone?!]

Hey, thanks the incredibly fast reply. Im not using a router, its connected directly to the PC through USB, im on the working one right now, im gonna try see if the other one works. My first guess was that there was a problem on the ISP's side, like you said, they tend to have a lot of those. The modem has been down for less than a day since it stopped working yesterday at about 3pm. Ill wait a while see if it gets back up and running and if not ill do what you said. But im a complete noob, i think ill need some help, if you will. Thanks for the help! Ill post up any advance

Yesterday my hacked SB5100 modem stopped working, the online light keeps blinking. I read it means the ISP doesnt recognize it? or something like that, doesnt sound like its going to fix itself with time or something. I have another modem, webstard DPC2100 and that one does work when i plug it so its not the line, has to be the modem... my guess (and i could be wrong cause im a noob at this) is that i need to change the other modems MAC address...? But i have NO CLUE as to how to do this, and i dont wanna brick the modem. You guys might say "why dont you just use the other modem?" well, the one thats not working has 512 speed, this one is 125. I had to wait like 5 minutes for this page to load! Also, its hacked (like i said) so calling the ISP is really not an option =P any help would be really really appreciated. Ive got torrents that need to be downloaded!
