I had to wipe my hd clean annd reinstall XP, I lost the 2wire Homeportal 1000SW driver. I have tried downloading to a flash drive to reinstall and it does not seem to be working. I get errors when trying ot install on desktop from flash drive. any thoughts?

well beneath the 2 wire system password field you will find a link which says "i forgot my password". click on it and it will show you the hint for the password. if still you cant remember the password then click on the link which says "i still cant remember my password". it will show you a 20 digit number. you will have to contact tech support for 2 wire and give them this number. they will give you a temporary password by which you can login in the 2 wire page.

click here to download the driver

When you get a 'cant connect to configuration server', dont worry about it, thats 2wire's configuration server. If you have a 1000sw, then you've been a customer for a long time and have been registered for years and dont need the configuration server. Both you and the 2wire have been configured for years. The 2wire is trying to reach the configuration server because you set it up again, im thinking you moved, changed phone lines, or changed service.

The 2wire configuration server is to set people's 2wire's up for the first time only, and even then it doesnt matter unless you call technical support, and then they can still help you by getting the serial number off the device when that happens years later.

spin

Windows 7 (Beta) and Windows Vista 64 Bit. Step 1. Do not allow the autostartup to run the installation application. You must right click on the CD ROM and select the "OPEN" option. Locate the driver on the install CD. Since my DVD ROM drive is my "D:" drive I located the driver at D:\USB_VISTA32364\BACKUP_2WIRE_VISTA_USB_Installer.exe . Before you click on this you want to right click on this and select Properties. In the properties tab click on the middle tab marked "Compatibility". Make sure you select the checkmark box to: Run this program in compatibility mode for: and use the pull down menu to select Windows XP SP2. This is how I was able to get my 2wire utility to work on Windows 7 (beta) 64 Bit.

you neen the driver from 2wire.com it is called twusb1405 extract to temp folder then unplug the router then plug it back in and it will look for driver direct it to the folder you unzipped it to and hey presto

Hi,

XP is an very good OS which will connect with 2wire without any problem.

If your computer is not able to detect modem, pls follow these steps.

* Check for damage of ethernet cable
* Try to reset the modem by using a paper clip punching into the reset button
* Even if your modem is not detected, force the IP and Default gateway

Take care

I had the same problem. I reset the home portal to factory setting and uninstalled the 2wire software from my main computer. I then reinstalled the system using installation cd that came with 2wire.
