I was following the instructions by Bualdoot (http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Linksys_WRT54G/GL/GS/GX#v2.0) I "upgraded" the linksys firmware which was actually a downgrade then I get stuck with this and can't go anywhere
also i've tried to do the 30/30/30 and that didn't work

It looks like it could be a browser issue. Clear you cache & cookies, restart you browser & try again.

I use IE6 or 8 depending on the rig I'm using.

I tried IE8 and it didn't do anything for it. Firefox 3.5 also doesn't do anything.

If it is not a browser issue, then if it were me, I would re-flash the firmware via tftp. Use the linksys tftp utility, not the os command line.

How come you downgraded? You could have just plowed dd-wrt via the linksys upgrade gui.

Try Chrome, Safari, etc.
Do a longer hard reset instead of 30/30/30 try
2minutes/2minutes/2minutes or longer.

30/30/30 hard reset before and after each upgrade.

Tried 30/30/30, and 2/2/2 they didn't work. Tried browsers and they didn't work. I try using the Linksys TFTP and that fails to get a response.

Try the tftp2.exe tool, you can do a search here on the forums for it. I've seen this or something similar and it helped the person that couldn't get it done in other ways.

You could also run the command arp -a from a windows command prompt, just to make sure your router didn't change IP addresses. I'm sure it didn't, but you said:

TFTP2 doesn't work either. Same error "Unable to get a response from the server." I know it didn't change IP address because I can still get on it through the web gui, it just looks messed up like that. Thanks for the help, though. I'm all ears for other help.

When i start the TFTP transfer, it knocks the router out so you can't access it at all.

Try changing that address to 192.168.1.100 and then try to tftp the firmware after a reset.

Try unplugging the router and issue the command:

ping -n 100 192.168.1.1

While that's running plug the router back in and post the ttl values as the router boots back up.

Do the same thing except press reset for 30 seconds instead of unplugging the router. Were looking for a ttl of 128.
