I have a D-Link DCM-202 cable modem. It seems to be working fine with eCS
(save for problems with cnn.com, maps.google.com, and gmail.com, which
don't load), but Comcast users apparently need to update its firmware (the
D-link website doesn't say what the update fixes, nor does the Comcast
site.) Of course, the update comes with a Windows executable.

While searching to find what this update helps (I found nothing), I came
across the following

http://godlikenerd.com/weblog/2005/0...rmware-how-to/

which tells Mac users how to do the upgrade without needing Windows. My
question is, can the same be done with OS/2, and, if so, how?

Thanks,


Alan

It would appear so. The only bit that's different is the TFTP server.
Open a command prompt, make a temporary directory, copy the firmware file
into it and then run TFTPD from that directory.

Thanks for the reply. I may not have the guts to try it (I do have a
Win98SE partition, so I could load the firmware using the Win executable),
but it's good to know that it can be done for future reference (there may
be a time when I don't have any Windows.)

please look at that url, and tell me somewhat step by step how to do it
under os/2? I'd really be grateful, as I don't know how to change the IP
settings mentioned on that page that are needed before running TFTPD.

According to D-link tech support, that upgrade should fix my problems
connecting to CNN, gmail, google maps, and the other couple of sites I'm
having trouble with.

Thank you very much,


Alan
