DD-WRT Will not display LAN/WAN IP just 0.0.0.0 for everything!

Ok I have a huge problem and I hope this doesn't mean my router got
bricked.
Following the instructions at
http://thescorpion420.dyndns.org/por...nt/view/27/36/,
I skipped the first two steps referring to using
vxworks_killer_g_v06.zip and the VXWorks Killer image tool to create an
image of my WRT54G MAC adress. I screwed up the first step and was
unable to get "Management Mode Firmware Upgrade Screen".

So I just used tftp.exe to Upload an image of
dd-wrt.v23_micro_generic.bin. Now I log into http://192.168.1.1 and see
the DD-WRT Control Panel but it won't read my LAN/WAN IP. If I go to
status it just says:

Login TypeAutomatic Configuration - DHCP
Login Status
IP Address0.0.0.0
Subnet Mask0.0.0.0
Gateway0.0.0.0
DNS 1 DNS 2 DNS 3
Remaining Lease Time0 days 00:00:00

Also since I didn't do the MAC ADDRESS imaging thing, the MAC Address
of my router is the DD-WRT default: 00:40:10:10:00:02 . Is there anyway
to fully start over and go back to the original Linksys control panel
or atleast to fix the DD-WRT configurations?

I would appreciate any help at all. Thank you in advance!

What you are experiencing seems to be normal behaviour when DD_WRT fails to find
a DHCP on the WAN port. ie. you are not connected to the net or the WAN port is
unplugged or there is no DHCP present on the network plugged into the WAN port
(labelled "Internet" on the WRT54GL)

The MAC address is printed on the sticker underneath the unit.
You can easily clone the MAC address by going to this page:

http://192.168.1.1/WanMAC.asp Login etc..

Hope that helps...
