Question linksys wrt54gl connectivity problem

Hi,
I'm novice to the field. I tried to set up a wireless lan with my Wrt54gl, and something went wrong I'm not sure about. It seems that I logged out without setting correct IP addresses. Now when I connect the router (Kamikaze 8.09 installed) physically to my notebook and power the router on, first Windows xp tries to connect to it, then fails and writes:
"Limitted or no connectivity...This problem occurred because the network did not assign a network address to the computer".

When I check for the Network Connection Details, it gives a physical address, an IP of 169.254.25.128 (auto-obtained) and a mask of 255.255.0.0. but Default Gateway, DNS server and WINS server are without any address.

Also, on the router panel it seems to be alright, DMZ is not blinking and the port Ethernet 1 is light on, as I am connected to it. It seems that my router now has no IP assigned to it right? I can not connect to it via browser too.

How can I solve the problem?
Thank you!

Re: linksys wrt54gl connectivity problem

If you don't know what its IP address is, reset and reconfigure the router.

how? I should log on to the router to reset right? I can't go through the browser. Resetting by pressing the reset button and power on, also won't reset the IP. How a router can be reset without having the right of administrator, i.e. by logging into it via browser? (JTAG cable is a solution but I don't have it).

Re: linksys wrt54gl connectivity problem

You press and hold the reset button. That will set it back to its defaults including IP configuration.

Hold the reset button for 15 seconds with power on the router. Try to connect again using the router firmware defaults for name/password, whatever they are for Kamikaze. The name of that firmware would give me pause.
