Gargoyle Forum

hello,
few days ago i tried to flash a gargoyle or openwrt firmware, but something went wrong and my router is bricked.
i connected through serial and tried to flash via tftp, but by pc can't reach the router
i run printenv on router to check the ip
router ip: 192.168.1.10
server ip (my pc): 192.168.1.169
active eth: eth0

i set 192.168.1.169 on my pc with /24 mask and inserted the eth cable from my pc in router ports, but i cant ping 192.168.1.10 (tried wan lan1 lan2 lan3 lan4)
this means i cannot download the firmware via tftp

when i insert the cable into the router, the corresponding port led is blinking, meaning it has activity
pc and router are connected directly (no firewall / windows firewall is also disabled)

can anyone help with this issue?

have you tried failsafe reset?

i can't failsafe
sys led is on for two seconds after power up and then it shuts down and only pwr led stays on (tried pressing qss / reset button, sys led still not blinking)

its can be tricky, keep trying

all else fails use a serial cable

i don't have layer3 connectivity between router and pc

Is port 69 open on the computer that is acting as a server

yes, i can tftp from my pc to my pc (tftp on himself)
port is layer4 in osi model
ping, which is layer3, is not working

if you are connected through serial and use putty



There is not IP address used with a serial cable

Hi
Serial connection is ok.
But for tftp i need IP connectivity between router and pc
But i cant ping router and when router tries to acess tftp server, it fails
Modem is 192.168.1.10
PC is 192.168.1.169
This is The configuration from printenv
