toastman firmware has DHCP disable by default .check if you have an fixed ip set to 192.168.1.x on your pc before attempting to connect to router interface.
Categories: Troubleshooting
I read up, I studied up, I knew everything to do, and now not once but twice I've had the same issue with getting this damned tomato firware to work.
I started with a brand new 3500L
Prepped it with a 30/30/30 reset
Installed the suggested build of DD-wrt listed on this sites tomato installation guide
Went off without a hitch, ddwrt installed fine
Did another 30/30/30 reset
During my first try I installed Toastman's http://www.myopenrouter.com/download/26575/Toastman-s-Tomato-Firmware-for-WNR3500L-w-USB-Ext/
and the second time, this latest try: http://www.myopenrouter.com/download/32387/Toastman-Tomato-Firmware/
After I recieve a message that it installed successfully and was complete, I then did another 30/30/30 reset.
And now it comes to this: I turn on my router and I get an orange power light, after about 60 sec the lights flash once, the power led turns green and the wireless light turns on (blue) and then when I try to login it times out or I'm very rarely able to login to the tomato firmware but after about 5 seconds I lose my connection to the router.
I want to love the tomato, but I'm about ready to pull my hair out at this point.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Okay. I've set up a static IP now. I can actually login to the router for more than 5 seconds at a time. Now the trick is getting to connect to the internet. I have an 2wire modem (att).
What's my next move?

I think you have now the router and the modem on the same network.
U need change the lan adress of the router (or modem) to e.g 192.168.0.1 and change on PC .
ip internet -> modem (192.168.1.1) -> 192.168.1.x (wan) router 192.168.0.1 (lan)-> PC 192.168.0.x.
U can set in the modem a DMZ 192.168.1.x for the router if you don't want to configure too many firewall rules.

I have a similar problem in the fact I can not access after a reset with tomato. My issue is I can't ping the router or even access it through telnet. I'm at a loss as to what to do, did you ever get yours up and running?

After doing some more searching I was able to set it to a static and gain access.
