Ok, I'm pissed of ... this is the second D-Link router that is giving me crap and I'm about to give up on the brand completely.

Obviously I have the DGL-4500 and I have some Virtual Servers setup for forwarding HTTP/SSH and they work fine, but my computer's local IP changed so I wanted to update the IP in the list.  Everytime I tried to make the update and save it I would loose connection because the router reboots.  When I go back in and just try to disable any current virtual server it reboots after you press the OK.

What the helL!?!?

So, next I try to update the firmware from 1.15 to 1.22.  I upload the new firmware and it says success but when it reboots the firmware is still 1.15.  So I try again.  I try 1.21.  I try downgrading 1.13 and NOTHING.  It won't budge.  No errors, no warnings, no nothing.

What the heck can I do, short of buying a different brand router!?

Let me add that it reboots on ANY changes I try to make....it's as if the memory is full and it just won't accept any changes and causes a reboot each time.  How the hell do I clear this crappy router?!

Pull the power from it and try holding in the reset button down with a pen or something for 15 seconds.  Reconnect the power and see if you can flash it then.

You are a LIFE SAVER!!! That worked.  I tried flashing it 4 times with different firmwares and nothing worked but that RESET on the back must have cleared the memory or whatever was clogging up the pipes and now the new firmware is installed.  Thank you very much for your super quick help.
