oops, my mistake, sorry. it wasn't showing the mac address of the slug at
all, it was the mac address of the router port (red faced).

ok I did that. I connected the slug to my (windows) laptop with a crossover
cable, I gave the network port the address 192.168.0.2. Started up wireshark
and then booted the slug. This is what I got:
(wireshark pcap file)
http://www.zen187664.zen.co.uk/linksys/slugoot2.pcap
again mixed in there are three dhcp pings (0.0.0.0) present which I'm sure
are from the Linksys device. Problem is that even when connected to a dhcp
server the Linksys doesn't pick up an ip address.
If that does nothing, then I'd follow the steps to get telnet access to

that circles back to the problem. This slug will not pick up an ip address
so I can't telnet anything. I've pinged 192.168.1.77 loads of times...get
nothing. I've checked and checked and checked again and I've done scans for
an ip address using netscan.exe but there is never an ip address for the
Linksys.
Right now I'm scrounging round to find if/where I can buy an jtag cable for
this device. I think that's the only way to go now.
