First simple thing. Make sure your pc is in the arp tables for the 
router. Log into the router, however, and just ping your unresponsive
manchine:

You shlould be able to just run the 'arp' command:

 # arp


In fact run that command from several nix machines.


If it is not in your dd-wrt OS, then research how to add
it or route the router with  a similar (embedded) OS
