Honestly I may as Turn NAT option off and go buy a router with a USB port for a my external hard-drive.
I seriously didn't think it would be such a F@#k around to unlock something like this.
And Sixteen thanks for posting the link, However the guys at that site refuse to help anyone unless you use there hardware, Even trying to get a hold of the extracted firmware is impossible.
As Drew said you don't need the NT to flash the modem or extract the firmware. It is just a nice GUI and you have support if something doesn't work out. The link in drews post will extract the image and allow you to update the image on the modem as well. I don't know of any other way to extract the image other than downloading it from your ISP and the opening it up and looking at it in IDA. You have to know the file name and server address to download it from your ISP. You will have to unpack it and then load it in IDA at the right address. Having this small and cheap programmer will show you some of these things.
