TomatoUSB

Need help to do a hard reset NVRAM for a router. 30-30-30 not working. Any methods available w/o ip/GUI access to Tomato?

Installed TomatoUSB in a WRT54G v4. Configured OpenVPN server, network settings, DHCP, the works. All working fine for 4 days.
Today I tested changing the router from NAT to BRIDGE Mode (my DSL modem is a router as well)… I disabled DHCP, set static IP 192.168.0.10 gateway 192.168.0.1 (255.255.255.X) and cannot access TomatoUSB GUI anymore. Heck router is not even pinging.

A client with Vista (static IP 192.168.0.20 255.255.255.0) and direct cable to the router, cannot ping it.
(if I force 192.168.0.10, then Vista complains of duplicate address on the network so router is alive and kicking)

I tried 30-30-30 resets several times but not doing full (or partial for that matter) NVRAM resets. SSID continues to be active (WEP password is active). Telnet / SSH / TFTP not worked so far (no ip access to the router).

Any help / ideas on what to do / how to gain access to the router much appreciated.

my ISP Dsl modem is in bridge mode and tomato router in DHCP. Only way to remove bridge mode is via reset mode. In your case, reset or 30-30-30 is one way of doing it. You need to be patients and willing to do it 1-100 times, it will be finally reset. During 30-30-30, you need to ping 192.168.1.1 (default ip) while your lan ip is set to subnet of 192.168.1.xx, xx can be any number.
This is the only way you will know if reset is successful.
