Go into TCP/IP, change the ip here. 192.168.1.2 first it'll probably put the subnet in, put the routers ip in for the gateway, and the routers ip in for the primary DNS and one of your ISP's DNS server ips in for alternate |

| 794707 | 2009-07-29 22:05:00 | 7) Click Start --> Run --> cmd Type: cd \ Now, when you type: tftp You should get something different this time . . . You're now ready to upload the firmware . When the WL-520GU is in Restore Mode, run: tftp -i 192 . 168 . 1 . 1 PUT tomato . trx 8) Wait for 3 minutes, then unplug the power and give it another 2 minutes to power up (First time for a clean flash always takes a while for some reason) Chill, I entered "tftp -i 192 . 168 . 1 . 1 PUT tomato . trx" and got this: "Can't read from local file . . . " see screenshot HERE ( . imagef1 . net . nz/files/_tftp_wireless . jpg" target="_blank">www . imagef1 . net . nz) . As you can see, I also tried using the original file name: tomato-ND-USB-8632-Std . trx Both files are on C drive (not in a separate folder) . I did manage to change the IP address as per Speedy's instructions . But then of course I could not get back on the internet even after trying to have an IP address assigned automatically . I did however manage to save a screenshot of all the TCP/IP settings (did this sometime last year) so I entered the numbers only to get a error message saying that a Bluetooth adapter was using the same IP address - not sure how to change one of the IP's so there would not be a conflict, I rang Slingshot's tech help, was put on hold for ages (speakerphones are great for this), and learned that the last digit could be changed to just about any number (from 2 to 54 I think he said) . OK fine, I am back online, but now what? I followed your steps 5 and 6 - the power light flashed so all seemed ok . Don't know why the trx file was not recognized . :stare: :help: |
