More Cable Modem Fun

Thanks to the World Wide Web, I was able to figure out that it is possible for me to look at my new cable modem via a web interface (and SNMP as well). My new modem is a Scientific Atlanta Webstar 2100 (DPC2100R2).

At first glance, only one page was available but thanks to Google and borfast.com I was able to get all sorts of good info.

The diag page is http://192.168.100.1

Easy: Change the "Target" in the shortcut to '%SystemRoot%\explorer.exe /e,c:\'
