 Re: Connection fix for O2, Thomson and BT HH routers I'd just like to say a huge thanks. I've just joined Be Broadband and had this issue with their BeBox. Couldn't connect at all, had a minor panic, used the utility then it worked fine.
One Q: Why would I want to use the 'disable' option?

Re: Connection fix for O2, Thomson and BT HH routers Hi, the program configures the router to forward UDP traffic on port 50000 to your PC (via UPNP). The router will do this even if AirAttack is not running. So in theory, if "someone" is sending UDP data to port 50000 to your router (from the Internet), it would get forwarded to your PC. Normally nobody is listening on that port tho and nothing would happen anyway. I, myself, do not disable the forwarding and I reckon it is save. But disabling it might be useful for testing or if you are paranoid  TopSchrott

Re: Connection fix for O2, Thomson and BT HH routers TC is this referring to the Delete option in the Start\Programs folder? Otherwise I'm wondering what it is

Re: Connection fix for O2, Thomson and BT HH routers Nice one, I'd not even realised it was there, as I set it up yonks ago and just have a shortcut on my desktop to activate it So thanks for drawing my attention to it for when I feel paranoid

Re: Connection fix for O2, Thomson and BT HH routers I did read you managed to get the ticket-download with the option to either open or save.
What happens then ?

Re: Connection fix for O2, Thomson and BT HH routers Hi.
Got a new Thomson 057F33 router which wouldn't connect. Just tried the download and it works lovely.
Tried the "activate upnp settings for air attack" and it seems to be working from the website alone now too.
Cheers m8y.

Re: Connection fix for O2, Thomson and BT HH routers Feedback If you have Hamachi or a simmilar ivpn software running as a virtual LAN device - disable it, try again - works
