Problem with router?
k ive got a Linksys BEFSR41 EtherFast® Cable/DSL Router with 4-Port Switch...i tried to do a firmware up date and it would not work...i tried the one from the website and i also tried the one from the 192.168.1.1 page...the one i dl'd didnt even try to work and the internal one got all the way to the end and said it didnt take...any opinions as to what may be going on?
Every normal man must be tempted at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats.
I often wonder if the voices in my head ever get frustrated because I'm just too damn lazy to climb that clock tower.

What he meant was do you have a firewall running like NORTON internet security or any programs that block internet traffic that may prevent you from upgrading your firmware.
To ping the lan IP you goto the start button - then the run command and type in CMD and hit enter if you have windows xp or command if you have win 98 and when the dos promp comes up type
Ping 192.168.1.1 and see if it replys.
Firmware updates are pretty easy to do. Just make sure your using the right file
Should be this file for the model you posted ftp://ftp.linksys.com/pub/network/BEFSR ... 0_code.bin
Here is the howto for upgrading the firmware
