    as the title states...i have a linksys wrt310N router flashed with dd-wrt firmware. i did this because the original firmware would drop the wireless connection every couple of hours or so, so i 'upgraded' to the dd-wrt firmware, and now wireless works like a champ, but none of the ethernet ports work at all. tested my computer, and my xbox 360, and they wont connect to the internet/x-box live.

    any ideas?

    Did you reset the Linksys firmware to factory defaults before flashing to DD-WRT? You could try doing a factory reset from within the web panel, maybe using the reset button. Maybe you could reload the Linksys firmware and make sure that works, then reset to defaults and reload the DD-WRT firmware again. You were supposed to flash the mini version of the firmware and then update it to the standard version. Did you do this? If not you can try loading the mini firmware and then the standard, or just reverting to Linksys then back to DD-WRT like I said before.

    This would probably be better answered by people here: http://dd-wrt.com/phpBB2/

    alright. i did everything you suggested, and still no luck. when i switched back to the linksys firmware, i had wired internet, but no wireless (would broadcast signal, wouldnt connect, even with MAC filtering disabled and no security---original reason i tried a different firmware) switched back to the dd-wrt firmware because both computers could get on wireless. oh well. thanks for the help. +1 for you
