    See if you can follow this - http://sry-for-my-english.blogspot.com/2007/05/problems-with-d-link-di-524.html

    Do you know how to hard-set your IP, subnet mask, etc for your network adaptor?

    No, I don't know. Can you help me? Please

    So for the hard reset, do I keep the cables in.

    for the hard reset you dont need anything other than the power adapter plugged in, but you need to hold the small reset button on the back for atleast 10 seconds, this should have restored the router to factory settings, if this doesnt work, then you need to replace it

    Did you run ipconfig with the router connected to the PC using the Ethernet cable?

    What does it display for Default Gateway?

    Keep the PC plugged into the router with the network cable.

    Have a look at this page for how to hard-set the network details - http://www.home-network-help.com/set-ip.html

    You will need to set -
    IP address 192.168.123.253
    subnet mask 255.255.255.0
    default Gateway 192.168.123.254
    DNS 192.168.123.254

    Reboot your PC

    Try running the firmware flashing utility again.

    Cross your fingers :)

    Use version 4 as the router may not be compatible with 6.
