Ok, if you get to to 7.1 r1, then I did this:
I have a linux box running on my lan.
My pc is connect to the lan and the fon.
I put step1.html:

And step2.html:

on the linux box’s web server and browsed to them.

(which do the exact same thing as fondue.pl, but since the linux box is not on wireless, I ran these on the pc which is on both networks)
Bingo, SSH connects. Log in as root/admin.

I followed the basic procedure (using my router) on a new 7.2 r3 and it reverted to 7.1 r1. Note this this alone will not open SSH. Also, my router was NOT connected to the internet, so I have no idea why this works.
It took many resets.

Unfortunately I realized a little too late that I grabbed the wrong Fon when preparing to leave the country, (I’ve got 3, one was stock)… Once I got to the hotel I was faced with a dilemma: No wireless.

What I had:

- Fon with 0.7.2 r3
- MacBook Pro with Leopard
- 4 port switch

What I did:
Preparation:
- Turned off DHCP on the MacBook’s en0 (Ethernet) port
- Connected the switch to the wall
- Connected the MacBook to the switch
- Connected the Fon to the switch

1) Connected to the Fon’s MyPlace
1a) Set the Fon’s IP to 213.134.45.200
1b) Set the Fon’s gateway to 213.134.45.129
2) Opened a Terminal on the mac
2a) Typed `sudo ifconfig en0 213.134.45.129 netmask 255.0.0.0` (Without backticks; Figured the netmask couldn’t hurt, figured it was going to be more complicated than it was)
3) Configured Internet Connection Sharing
3a) Shared from Ethernet to Ethernet (Awesome feature, thanks Apple!)
3b) Turned on Internet Connection Sharing
4) Set the DNS on en0 (Ethernet) to 88.198.165.155
5) Turned off the Wireless
5a) Turned on DHCP on en0 (Ethernet)
6) Hit the reset button on the Fon,
6a) Waited until the Fon’s lights all came up
6b) Turned on AirPort
6c) Connected to MyPlace via AirPort
6d) Checked http://192.168.10.1/cgi-bin/status.sh
6e) If the version was still 0.7.2 r3…
7) Turned off DHCP on en0 (Ethernet)
7a) Go to step 5

(This took 3 iterations of steps 5-7a for me)

What I got: My firmware was reverted to 0.7.1 r5!

Richardo, I will try it without another router. I have got a Linksys, but first I’ll use without it. Be patient, I’ll send some info about it.
