Anyone know any patches were my modem can't be disconnected remotely. Like were I can't get disconnected from my isp without the server I'm connected to disconnects me? P.S I did the way surfi told me in a pm about putting the s2=255 or something in my settings and it didnt work. Anything else anyone?

Sean, this suggestion might be "outside the box", but you may try and research the subject...go to google and I'm sure you'll find a few pages  with clear enough language that youll understand...

I'm not a computer saavy person also... but if you search for it, you'll find answers....I'm sure there's people in this forum that might help you, but the satisfaction of dealing with the problem yourself is bigger....


P.S..- did i just called you Sean???

I was planing on searching today, but my other thread got deleted and I couldnt find the things I needed to search for

yay you called me Sean lol

Uhmm...So your trying to steal internet?

No, just trying to stop some people from disconnecting me remotly.

O, Okay...Thought you were trying to steal cableNET .

A solution would be good, because I still have *cough* dial-up *cough* at the moment and my ISP disconnects me after a 2 hour period (not good when downloading large files at a slowish speed).

There's nothing you can do about that. Thats your ISP's thing. This thing stops from a user remotly disconnecting your computer.

If they're using the escape code "hack" (+++ATH0), you can prevent that on putting guard time on the espace code, the +++. This means there has to be 1 second (or another specified time) of nothing before and after the +++ is sent, else it won't go into command mode where they can give hangup commands or anything else. This is a very good protection because it's almost impossible to do remotely. Please check out this page: http://www.modemsite.com/56k/escape.asp.

Basically that page says that you can disable the escape code completely by putting in s2=255 in the extra settings for your modem (like surfi said), but the guard time is a better way, by putting s12=(time you want in 50's of a second for guard time) in the extra settings. I'd make it one second.

Good luck

you dont really patch your modem at all. you just change some settings in the software controlling it. you are not flashing the modem or anything like that, so you could look for a flash update for your modem aswell.
