Yeap, got that message myself.
I wonder what changes this update makes?

Yes, fix the one that your heavily marketing at the moment.
Must look good for your engineers to come out, put in a box and see a webpage magically appear after 3 minutes.

Maybe, as it was said in a earlier post, that the ripwave system is killing their whole network by arp broadcasts!

i updated the diag software and with the ctrl-shft-f10 thing alot more stuff comes up, so maybe thats what the craic is about, updating the modem software to use latest features in the network

i wonder will it even make a difference

if its a ethernet (RJ45) its just a matter of pluging it straight into the network card, but if its the USB version, you will have to reload the drivers for the modem onto your new pc for it to work with the modem.
