Modem won't work on older MAC OS X

Just joined and was disappointed that the modem won't work on my laptop running MAC OS X (10.6.8).
Works on other computers and devices an my old modems (BT,EE and SKY) worked fine with laptop.

Just keeps crashing when connected (fine otherwise).

 

Anyone know how I could fix this?

thanks

Re: Modem won't work on older MAC OS X

Hi there.

I suspect that's due to an incompatibility between IPv6 on Mac's running the OS Snow Leopard or earlier and the Hub Zero(Sagemcom 2704n). With your older laptop disconnected from the router can you carry out the following steps?

  • Go to System Preferences
  • Click on Network
  • Click on Advanced
  • Click on the TCP/IP tab
  • Change Configure IPv6 to Off
  • Click OK and then Apply if there's a button to save the changes
  • Connect your laptop back to router

Let us know how this goes.

Perfect! Thumbs_Up

It's not very often that this kind of issue comes up but when it does it's generally easily fixed.
