Denis, will wait t'il am, as modem is in the office. I need to restore it to the out-of-the box settings and then will ask you guys about dd-wrt.com and what to do with it.
Actually, I wish it allowed me to accept some device id's as static addresses (back-end). I have a server, and with dynamic addressing, the router likes to change IP addresses every whim it gets. So my backend device wanders from *.101 to *.106. Now it locks up every few hours. So either I replace it, or I revert it and follow the dd-wrt.com instructions for upgrading. It drives a wireless/wired print server that did not have to be wireless, but that is what I inherited. Thanks to Slav, who I will contact if fixing the linksys fails, I have a fallback.

So I am sure he can chime in on that!

Apparently there is dd-wrt software or other that may bring it back to life. If that fails, then I will contact you to try it. Found http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Recover_from_a_Bad_Flash as a reference for unbricking the router. -- Leslie Satenstein <[email protected]> Gmail Account _______________________________________________ mlug mailing list [email protected] https://listes.koumbit.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mlug-listserv.mlug.ca -- Tired of WindowsXP? try Ubuntu! http://www.ubuntu.com/ -----Inline Attachment Follows----- _______________________________________________ mlug mailing list [email protected] https://listes.koumbit.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mlug-listserv.mlug.ca
