Ok, what do you get with the ipconfig?

There is something else going on. If you were connected as before, you would see 2 addresses in the ipconfig. Is it possible that you have the ethernet port on your laptop disabled?

Ok, I can only assume that there is a non-standard config in the linksys and that it is acting as a bridge to your existing wireless lan. I would suggest to do a factory reset on it so that we will know it's IP address and login information.
Just to be clear, this will wipe the configuration so that you can install the linkmeter firmware which you will need to set up from scratch.

Correct. That is why we copy the .bin file to the laptop. Disconnect wireless. Plug in the cable to the linksys, wait 10-15 seconds. open the browser and cancel or wait to time out. Then enter the http://192.168.1.1 at the top.
I am still confused why I don't see 2 addresses in the ipconfig though.
If you want, I can be available to help via IM.

That is why you need to be disconnected from wireless.

What are you doing to disconnect from the wireless? Sorry for all the questions, but I'm at a bit of a loss here.

Have you tried rebooting windows? Are we sure that the ethernet cable is good?

If it is still running the stock Linksys firmware, plug your computer directly into the WRT54G and then you should be able to access http://192.168.1.1/
On the rebooting issue
I've had never had a problem with the router rebooting itself during a cook. It is possible though if the device runs out of memory for some reason that the kernel will crash and then the hardware watchdog will reboot the device. More likely it will just kill the webserver process. Neither of these ever happen while I'm cooking though, although I am careful about not trying to open too many connections to it. For testing I keep the LinkMeter running 24/7 and check in on it from time to time. Right now it has been running for 28 days. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>
too many connections might have been the problem... I was bragging to friends and it may have been overloaded....

Hmmmm. Address of that router should be 192.168.0.1.

But he was connected to wireless. I have seen some drivers report as a LAN connection instead of a wireless adapter.

Just to make sure, you're plugging your new WRT54GL into your computer, yes? Not the home router. It's just weird that both addresses have that 0 in them.

That 0.4 address is odd. No default gateway.

What's the model number of your linksys, and have you done a factory reset?
