Out of interest, how did you figure out the IP addresses to use?

Very briefly, if you connect the 2700HGV without any pre-configuration for "blocking" its "calls home" & with the logging set to maximum (i.e. Debug) and then parse the rather extensive logs generated, you will see those addresses. Standard techniques (e.g. host, dig, whois, etc, etc) identifies them as the IP addresses of provisioning servers.

Also if you thoroughly scrutinise the master reference site for the 2Wire 2700HGV you will find identical information provided by Adam C. ;D

Having now downgraded the 5.29.117.6 firmware to the older 5.29.107.12 version, my new "reserve" 2700HGV is now immune from any "evil influence" by virtue of the fact that it attempts to "phone home" to decommissioned provisioning servers.

I have a sequence of screenshots available, if anyone wishes to see how simple the process was to perform.
