linksys wrt54g lan/wired dhcp problem - help

For some reason, I can no longer get dhcp to work on the lan/wired side.

It works fine on WLAN/wireless side. I can get an address and PING
192.168.1.1 on the WLAN side just fine. I even tried updating firmware
on the WLAN side and it was successful (AFAIK).

On the LAN side, even if I use a static IP, I cannot ping 192.168.1.1.
I even tried adding an arp entry on the PC for the mac address of the
unit. still not work.

However, if I do a continuous ping to 192.168.1.1 from the LAN PC, I
will get 4-5 responses when I power reset of the router or do a soft
reset for 30 seconds, etc.

Is there some setting to allow the management IP and functions to be
bridged to the LAN side?

The only thing I have done lately is tried the latest version of code
for my wrt54g (hw) v1.1 - firmware v4.20.7. Also, I haven't been using
my Internet port lately since my ISP has been f***** around, I can only
keep one PC on the Internet until they get done with their address space
migration and other odd changes.

Thanks

Suggest you go back to square one:

Reset your router to factory default settings. You can do this
through the current firmware’s configuration pages –
Administration/Factory Defaults/Yes/Save Settings. As an
alternative, you can physically reset the factory defaults by
pressing and holding the reset button on the back of the router for
30 seconds.

I'm running the same hardware/firmware combination without problem.
DHCP and mgmt access on 192.168.1.1 via LAN and WLAN are enabled by
default, password = admin.

Yes, I've tried factory defaults. Perhaps I have a hardware problem
now. Maybe I'll try one of the more linux versions of code where I can
better manipulate network settings.

Anyone else run into a similar problem?

Just a thought: have you checked out the NIC on the PC and cable
you are using to access the router?

I'm experiencing the exact same problem with a WRT54G Ver 1.1, my apologizes for digging up a 4 year old thread, but did you manage to solve the issue?
