If I remember correctly, this model does not have RS 232. If it is dead, and cant be revived, go to the Linksys site, there used to be a utility to upload the firmware. Try that. If not, hasta-la-vista Naren Singapore ----- Original Message ----- From: "Sifvion" <sif () dabox org> To: "Paul Mohr" <pmohr () boredmder com>; "Bruyere, Michel" <mbruyere () ezemcanada com> Cc: <security-basics () securityfocus com> Sent: Tuesday, June 08, 2004 12:25 AM Subject: RE: OT: LInksys router BEFSR41 dead... anything i can do?
how about other connection port? Such as RS232? If yes connect it and use hyerterminal to login. -----Original Message----- From: Paul Mohr [mailto:pmohr () boredmder com] Sent: Saturday, June 05, 2004 8:54 AM To: Bruyere, Michel Cc: security-basics () securityfocus com Subject: Re: OT: LInksys router BEFSR41 dead... anything i can do?

This was some time ago, so I'm not 100% sure on the version. Anyway, after the flash "completed successfully" I couldn't access the management interface anymore. I called Linksys and got the answer that I had to buy another router, which I did (of another brand!). I actually look to "revive" this router by pushing a 3rd party FM in it. Is it possible to achieve this w/o the web interface? Any docs on this would be appreciated and/or personal experience too.I assume that you've tried the hardware reset button on the back of the unit? After this, it should be fine, you should be able to use it as normal. As far as flashing new firmware without the web interface, I don't believe it's possible, but I don't have all that extensive experience with Linksys equipment. -- Paul Mohr pmohr () boredmder com --------------------------------------------------------------------------
