DNS poisoning

[kinmel]

It appears that BT have taken down all the URLs used for provisioning the 2wire routers and if so then DNS poisoning is no longer necessary on any of them.

I cannot ping or tracert to any of the following:-

cwmp.cms.smehomehubrms.bt.com

gateway.cms.smehomehubrms.bt.com

pbthdm.bt.motive.com

pbthdm2.bt.motive.com

Can anyone reach them?

[Sebby]

I can ping the *.motive.com addresses, but not the *.bt.com ones.

I can get to the last two:

Thanks

I can't get to them, I wonder which bit I have broken now ?

Back to the drawing board........................

Try unplugging the RJ11 connector from the router, Alan. That usually cures most problems for me.
