Ok i tried to update my router to the newest dd-wrt. I am stuck at a certain point though. I went through all the steps(i do not have a serial cord) using erase_mtd way of doing it. Now i am at the point where i must tftp the dd-wrt to the router, but i keep getting the cannot find host error. I have setup the ip on my computer to
ip:192.168.1.1xx
subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
gateway: 192.168.1.1
Preferred DNS: 192.168.1.1
I have tried this multiple times, but yet i am still unable to ping my router. I have the router plugged in the lan port 1. I have tried using other ports too. I also have 2 lan ports on my computer. I have tried using both of them switching back and forth but no luck. Do i have have something setup wrong? When i have the router plugged in the power light is blinking so im assuming its in tftp mode. I dont know what i am doing wrong. I have tried to ping the router also, but get no response. Thanks for any help
reboot the router again and wait for booting it up. Then i think you will get the ping.
i have rebooted it quite a few times and waited for ping.
i try and ping it for 5 minutes with no luck. i dont know what the problem is
