Hi. I have D Link Dir 300, and uploaded the final release of dd-wrt - dd-wrt24.
1. Gateway address doesn't save when I'm trying to make PPTP connection. Therefore, cannot use internet
2. Following the tutorial http://www.shadowandy.net/2007/10/flashing-dir-300-back-to-original-firmware.htm I telneted to my router, got dd-wrt prompt.. The ip_address, fis init, load commands don't work - "No such command".
Is your WAN gateway address outside of the WAN subnet?

The method didn't work for me. The gateway address still doesn't save.
What about my second question? Why my dd-wrt doesn't support ip_address, fis init, load commands? Or are they RedBoot commands, and not linux commands?
Thanks.
Although mainly directed at broadcom users, you didn't seem to notice my signature at all. You should try a current build for your router which you can find in the router database.
No, actually my WAN IP is 10.206.16.6 and WAN gateway is 10.206.16.1
Although these addresses are very close, there is still a possible /30 netmask which would put them in different subnets, so what is the netmask? Do other settings save successfully?
Yes those are redboot commands, read the "getting into redboot" section of the guide carefully. _________________ Read the forum announcements thoroughly! Be cautious if you're inexperienced.

Ah now it comes out... You have a rev B1 which is Ralink based but the revert guide you've been trying to use is for the rev A1 Atheros based model. Also, there is no DIR300dd-wrt.bin file in that link because those are broadcom builds. Here's a couple links to recent dir-300 B1 builds though I'm not familiar with Ralink problems so you should read the Ralink forum before choosing a build.
If the pptp connection is being established and it's just a lack of a default route afterwards then this should work in the firewall script.
ip route replace default via 10.206.16.1 dev $(nvram get wan_iface) _________________ Read the forum announcements thoroughly! Be cautious if you're inexperienced.

Thanks, sir. The search on Ralink firmware didn't get any results nor these two firmwares worked on my router.
When approximately I can expect a new firmware in the router database? (currently available is 13064)
and then upload firmware through emergency room, while others advise just upload firmware file (through emergency, or Administation->Firmware upgrapde).
What is the difference?
Different hardware has different procedures. Redboot is a boot loader but different hardware uses different boot loaders. I do not believe your Ralink based model uses it. It is common for Atheros hardware and the guides that mention it are likely written with the A1 revision in mind. _________________ Read the forum announcements thoroughly!

I got the latest build 14144. It seems it works fine. The gateway address is saved now... but the router automatically changes address to 172.16.0.x.
Why is that? I deleted all the script commands from Command lines.
