This is the message that pops up at times when I try to reset my MAC.


There's an error, You cant reset this MAC
for one of the following reason:
1.- You can't reset a mac without status Running.
2.- You cant reset the same mac more than 3 times on a day.
3.- You can't made more than 15 reset 1 a day.

1 & 2 are understandable but #3 needs some explaining (at least for me). Is that 15 times per month?, per route?, per year?.
In my case I cannot change the MAC on my Mag254, so it has to be thrown away after 15 resets... is that it??

Can someone please explain... thank you.

lol... you would have to talk to NFPS about that :)
The NFPS server admins all do not speak english too well, it could have been a typo in translation :eek:

I am still here to help with private matters concerning linking :)

I think this was from back when they required Order# plus Donation/Route# on the checker.

As I understand it you were able to reset any MAC 3 times a day (24hrs). (So you could keep changing MAC's).
BUT you could only do a total of 15 resets per 24hrs for each Donation?

No but I have had server problems lately with my MAC and it could cause a problem. The daily rate is shown in #2.

crazed 2.0.. thank you.. I did have it go out again on Sunday... you was awol (nascar) and asft stepped up and finally got it fixed yesterday afternoon. One comment, asft asked me to send a foto of my MAC but cannot attach in PM's... only link... so I uploaded it to a file server...fyi.

problem with that is if you reset mac 3 times and it maxes out then next time you search, it comes up with red error. So you can not even get in there to do them 15 resets.
:eek:
I know, still confused, and me too. But after checking and adjusting over 100 in last 3 days I begin to see a pattern :)

OK I see, so you can have many routes on one donation.. is that correct ?? but still not very clear on the part of the server guys... that message popped up on Sunday when my MAC went to all zeros.... thank you.

No .. But you could have many routes on an Order. And you could assign any available MAC to a route.

example:- 1) Reset 2) Reset 3) Change MAC 4) Reset 5) Reset 6) Change MAC etc. etc. etc. 16) locked out!!!

Not sure if you would still be able to do this though?

Outside was coming toooooo fast would have wrecked and nearly did. Leader with one to go is never the best place to be!!!

i have come across a couple that were ready for assignment but the member did not realize the route was there , just waiting to be assigned, and a few times they did not know they had a reseller account type deal to start with.

My brain been on overtime and little sleep. I thought I was okay when the iptvPotal NA thing was fixed and PMs slowed down... but they never stop :)
Which is okay.
I can find stuff :)

so ummm... what is the outcome ?
15 resets and 3 MACs or 3 MACs and 15 resets or 2 MACs and hold the lettuce and 20 resets ?

okay, shut up.. It is my ass personal coming out.
But seriously, hold the lettuce. I hate that rabbit food !

Ok.. that's clearer so #3 should read
You can't made more than 15 reset a day it was the '1' that was confusing me. But as crazed mentioned earlier your SOL with the IPTV resets if you do the 3 MAC changes. Hopefully they will seperate the functions and not have them on the same counter.

I doubt I will use the function with the Mag, but when I started out I was using KODI, and there I used it quite a lot, setting up pvr stalker.

lmao ... I think it's actually a footlong (12 resets) and a quad decker (4 MAC's). :confused::cool:

The other day just looking at a Donation/Route/MAC counted as one without changing it or doing a reset!!!

to tell you the truth thou , most people (members) do so get it. They know not to add the rabbit food in PMs to me on these matters, and really that is how things get done. Facts only and all of them.

that gets things done :)

I think you've got it now juan_vale but it could all change again tomorrow!!! It's been crazzy around here the last few weeks especially for the mods who are trying to help without much more insight of what's happening or coming next than the rest of us.

“Patience is a Virtue”

When some people want something, they want it now. They demand to have it now. They don’t have time to wait. They will take what they can get now, rather than waiting a little for something better.

We’re all equally guilty of wanting something immediately, or sooner rather than later, at one point or another. We can’t afford to wait. Time is money. Waiting means we won’t have what we want today. We may miss out on something we can experience now. We don’t want to wait for tomorrow.

Even when we decide to wait, we become jittery. We don’t know what to do with ourselves. After a while, our patience wears thin, and we begin looking for instant gratification. When we get it sooner than expected, we heave a sigh of relieve. Aaaaaahhhhh, we got it.

But did we really get what we were waiting for, or did we lower our standards to get it sooner? We accept a smaller piece of what we were waiting for in exchange for instant gratification. Why not, tomorrow may never come. Why not take a little less today? Why not get some gratification today rather than a lot more gratification tomorrow and possibly the rest of our lives? Because today is here and tomorrow may never come.

This is an instinct we’re born with: the instinct to satisfy our needs whenever we’re able to. This is an instinct we picked up from the dawn of time: take what you can now, since you may not get the chance tomorrow.

Patience goes counter to our instincts. Patience is something which must be learned and practiced. It isn’t something which comes naturally to us. Those who master patience become more successful than those who can’t. They know that waiting for long term gratification is much better than accepting temporary instant gratification. They know that going slow and doing something right is much better than rushing and doing half a job, or worse, doing it wrong and having to repeat it, which will take longer than if they had waited. These are the people who don’t have the time or money to do something right, but manage to find much more of both when something breaks and must be fixed now. These people are you and me.

This is why patience, being able to wait, is a desirable quality. It is difficult to have the moral integrity to forego instant gratification in exchange for something better at a later date. This is why it is a virtue.

Those who have that virtue have truly understood that it is better to wait for tomorrow to take the full reward, rather than taking a small sample today.

Thanks .. Not my words just a google search like all should be doing ... as most of the answers can be found here somewhere :)

If people would use the advanced search and then display the results by posts and not threads, they would be amazed at what they could find. Everyone just needs to play around with it a little. I honed my skills looking around the internet for porn :o lol

Well said Switchon, I believe we all fall under one category or another. I will read this to my wife the next time the washing machine breaks down...lol. Also don't put all your eggs in one basket, I have several options here but like to keep them all working. Have a good evening and a big thankyou to ALL the Mods, without their help I'm sure we would all be looking at a black screen.
