Yes, to flash with mini first, just to get the factory firmware cleared out, then flash again with std to get the full image into the device. >>>> >> Please give me some details as to IP addresses in each router, >> whether DHCP service is enabled on each one (should be *only* on the >> GS, unless you are getting DHCP from somewhere else or using static >> IP), and what your default gateway is on a connected client (should >> be the IP address of your GS). >> > You mistake me for someone who knows what he is doing.

On the first page (IIRC), you should see something related to DHCP Server; a radio button, most likely. That should be enabled. Under that should be something to do with address range. Please let me know what it says. At the top of the page (most likely) it will tell you the LAN address of the device, which is likely (if left at default) 192.168.1.1. Please verify this. Please log into the G, running DD-WRT. Go to the Setup tab (I think; I'm looking at 2.4 SP1, and don't have ready access to a box running 2.3) and go down to the Network Setup section. Under Router IP, what is listed for the Local IP Address? Under Network Address Server Settings (DHCP), please list the settings you see there. Finally, from a wired client machine, please go to an OS/2 window and type: ifconfig lan0 (assuming your wired interface is indeed lan0) Copy and paste the output into your reply; and then: netstat -r copy and paste that output, as well. -- Lewis ------------------------------------------------------------- Lewis G Rosenthal, CNA, CLP, CLE Rosenthal & Rosenthal, LLC www.2rosenthals.com Need a managed Wi-Fi hotspot? www.hautspot.com Secure, stable, operating system www.ecomstation.com -------------------------------------------------------------
