Trouble Flashing Router

Glad it's back.

I'm having trouble with my router again. It only boots up when I hold down the EZ setup for a few seconds. It doesn't load up the internal hd or anything, it seems, but it does enable wireless and some other things. I tried the tftp thing and was able to send the file over, but the router did nothing after I sent it over. Do I need to reboot it after sending the file? I seem to remember it loading the file itself.

If your HDD is corrupt, you'll have to reflash the complete .nas image to restore the HDD image.

Well, without a serial console, this will be difficult... So, let's start from the beginning... What led to the router getting to this state? What's the static IP address and netmask on your PC? Please provide, in detail, your setup and what you've already tried.

Regarding tftp, you can't tftp a .nas file. You can only send the segment that normally resides in flash. I put the 1.0.4.6 flash.trx file here for you to try:
