I hope this one is not done for good, any other things you could suggest I try will be appreciated. I was doing the second firmware upgrade ( to standard)and the power in the neighborhood went out for a min or so right when my screen said "you have 196 seconds left to complete a successful upgrade. I have tried several hard 30/30/30 resets, made sure all my firewall were off and I still cannot get it to connect at all! no pings nothing. The power light just keeps blinking. It does not have a jteg connector but I do see the pin holes when I took it apart..does anyone Have any Ideas? or is this one history?
Thanks in advance

PS I went out and bought a Belkin f5d8236-4 v-2000 any d/ls for that? I did'nt see any
You might check with wireshark if it is still giving BOOTP requests, I had this once with my old router, I already connected it with a serial port (can't remember how and the page I got it from is gone) but then saw the line "BOOTP request sent", so I downloaded a BOOTP server and that easily fixed it.
I found another page with the serial port pin layout, these should not be holes but actual pins, I think most linksys routers is not all have them.
Pin 1 3.3V (pin 1 has a white stripe next to it)
Pin 2 RXD (from serial terminal program to NSLU2)
Pin 3 TXD (from NSLU2 to serial terminal program)
Pin 4 GND
Hm, after looking at some images I see there are no pins, but it has a debug port and jtag requires like 10 pins. So the 4 holes should be the debug port.

The device has jtag. There should be nothing wrong with the cfe so you just need to erase nvram & kernel. Then tftp the oem fw on the box, then put dd-wrt back on. You don't have to flash anything in this case with jtag.. Just erase. DO NOT erase cfe or wholeflash.
