I still think resetting and re-configuring is the quickest solution, but I
am curious as to what exactly failed. You say it is not acting as a router,
but you are able to connect to the local lan. Is that connecting to the
local lan via the router or if the router was unplugged and put in the
closet would you still be connecting to the local lan. Are you pinging
using IP addresses or using names? i.e. is it a DNS problem.  When I first
installed tomato on my ASUS NT-12 router it had telnet open for local
access. Do you maybe have telnet access? Maybe there is another router on
your local lan interfering with things? How about disconnecting all other
systems from the router except the laptop and then seeing if you can get
access.
