I read the WebIF page wrong (there's also a learning disability involved here, so things like this can mislead me) and set the WAN and LAN IP address on my WRTSL54GS to the same address.  I had not yet set it so I could log in from the WAN interface and any attempt to connect from the LAN side fails.

I did leave bootwait set to 1 second, which I do whenever I'm making changes, but I wonder if that will help because it still will have the same "identity crisis" issue.  (I've got no problem with reflashing this, there's not that much saved on it and I have to reflash it soon anyway so I can document all I do on it.)

What can I do to get access to this box?

Thanks!

Odd.

First reboot had no effect (tried that before posting).  Tried tftp'ing the image to flash it on the 2nd reboot.  No luck with tftp, but after that, I had no problem reaching it from the LAN side.

Problem solved (apparently!).

The discussion might have continued from here.
