so using this method of activation (through no help of no support agent ever wanting to help me)

I am attempting to activate my ebay-bought 6180. Now he says reset it to factory default. At first I did not do this :P so I talked to a few agents who tried to activate and when they did I got a pink blinking button on the modem! well... in the end it did not work :/ BUT there was that light! Well upon reading again and googling (I thought a factory reset was when you unplug-pause-plug back in) and actually doing the 168.192.100.1 thing this pink light never turns on!!
And now I can't get back to my modems diagnostic program either! So what did I do? Did I just not do the final step, does it have to do with ipconfig or something?
Kind of separate but my latest call to tech support netted me a 'free' on promotion gateway though they had me add (free) voice service too. Not bad but I've got a nagging pain telling me 'don't give up on this modem it's faster than that silly all-in-one gizmo they gave you!' so....
SINCE 99% of NOBODY wants to support an 'uncertified' modem and I really don't wanna waste their time anyway... is there a self activation method I could try??
