BBOX2 Belgacom:
Last boxes use the code 9037 to access to the DynDns section.

Recap:
In your javascript able browser address line, copy-paste the following line:
http://192.168.1.1/index.cgi?user_name=admin&password=BGCVDSL2

When logged in the BBOX, replace the previous line in the address bar with :
javascript:mimic_button(‘goto: 9037..’)

Cheers

Hi Patrick,
Really appreciate the info you’re sharing here.
It helped me a lot after receiving this crapbox B_Box2 aka Sagem 3464.

For the Fritzbox lovers, like myself, we are all waiting the internationnal version of the Fritzbox 7390, with VDSL capability.

In the meantime, if you own a 7170 model, Trixbox pulled a really good stunt by moding this model to make it VDSL capable.

Tested it personnally, it works but the box is unstable.

You can login as admin if you do this (assuming you have not changed the Sagems IP and default pass):

http://192.168.1.1/index.cgi?user_name=admin&password=BGCVDSL2

This way you get an extra Admin section.

Thanks Dominiek. I have created a page with your suggestions, and added a method to do it through the web interface.

With the help of your and other bbox-2 websites I figured this out
Just for your info maybe you can put it under the B_Box_2 tricks

Trick : how to change the DHCP server start_ip because on the local lan I’m using a few fixed ip-addresses for desktop_pc, ip_printer….are in use.

That’s the way I did this maybe there are other possibilities?

Telnet 192.168.1.1 admin BGCVDSL2

[admin @ home]$ rg_conf_print dev/br0/dhcps/start_ip
(start_ip(192.168.1.2))

Returned 0
[admin @ home]$ rg_conf_set dev/br0/dhcps/start_ip 192.168.1.20

Returned 0
[admin @ home]$ rg_conf_print dev/br0/dhcps/start_ip
(start_ip(192.168.1.20))

Returned 0
[admin @ home]$ save

Thanks for your info.
Dominiek

@Bart: in the web interface, you need to specify the password in the URL e.g.
http://192.168.1.1/index.cgi?user_name=admin&password=yourpasswordhere

@Patrick

Let’s hope that the Sagem will update to the new firmware when I get my VDSL connection working (still on ADSL now). Is there a way to do it yourself? I did find in /home/httpd/html the upgradefirm.html, which works if you got to http://192.168.1.1/upgradefirm.html, but you need the firmware file.

@Seb This was also the case with earlier BBox2 firmware versions. The last two firmware versions do not exhibit that behaviour anymore.

The only workaround I found was to have all devices connected through the same Ethernet switch and use an independent WIFI access point connected to the switch.
