Thanks BC could you expand on the BGW issue it would be much appreciated when the next time I have to re-flash HG612.
It's quite simple, really. Do not use M$ Vista when attempting to flash a modem with new firmware image.
B*CAT you make me LOL
Ok the first time I flashed the HG612 over 2 years ago with Vista and Configure the ethernet NIC on PC with IP address 192.168.1.100. (Direct PC lan to MODEM port 2) it worked fine.
It was the second flash 6 months later that I notice the (Direct PC lan to HG612 port 2) had stopped working when entering 192.168.1.1 and the only way to re-flash the HG612 was to have the router (HH3) inplace PC to HH3 and lan cable from router to port 2 on HG612 that's the only way I can flash the HG612 on Vista as of to-day.
