    Web server won't ping after installing firmware 1.9.6.0

    I did my first firmware upgrade since i bought the router last year, I installed 1.9.6.0 (WL500gx_1.9.6.0_EN.trx) yesterday. Now I can no longer connect to my web server which is connected by ethernet cable to the router. I restarted the router and adsl modem by hand as well. A ping to the lamp web server (I tried restarting it) times out. A ping to the other wireless laptop works fine.

    Any thoughts?

    Thanks a lot,

    Tom.

    I solved the problem, it turns out that the server took my old ip address (192.168.1.5), it used to be (192.168.1.7) and I was using this rather than the computer name to get to it. I all of a sudden I am 192.168.1.4. I don't have the ip addresses locked down anywhere, it's hard to see how a firmware update could affect it.

    Cheers, Tom.
