Hi, I'm back again. ;)

For some reason I can't connect to my router and access SDM, it says page cannot be displayed, I'm presuming I've enabled something whilst 'experimenting' which has disabled http/https access since the router otherwise seems to be functioning fine.

I've wacked out the console cable and used hyperterminal to connect but when i type most commands they just don't seem to be recognized. :confused:

the prompt says 'rommon1>' i type enable like in the guide (to enable sdm usage) and it says not found. :(

i guess this is good experience but help me please.

it boots up and the internet works fine, i just can't seem configure it at all. :confused:

when i switch the router on in hyperterminal i see this message on boot:

No bootable image file: flash:/
Unable to open boot file
Click to expand...

i take it that's bad then? :(

appreciate your help.

do i need to try and obtain one of those IOS files then? what file type is it ill look on the cd.

img: how do i check the contents of flash via hyperterminal?
 
actually ive just run sygate security test and the firewall doesnt seem to be working, so im guessing the router is just doing basic routing at this time, that explains why the lights on the front stopped flashing. :confused:
 
no bin files on the cd, nor any others with strange names like that. :(

i tried registering on cisco.com but it says i only have guest access so i guess i'm not allowed to download a new one from them, if i email them do you think they'll send one?
 
yo guys,

i've managed to get hold of one. ;)

can one of you please give me a quick guide for re-flashing it please?

thanks.
 
i have to figure out what the hell im doing with these tftp programs first. :(

are there any step by step guides for dummies? ;)
 
sorry guys, but i just can't get my head around this tftp hosting thing. :confused:

about the firewall, i think the router firewall is still blocking a little as opposed to completely stealthing ports, should i connect my modem directly to the computer and just have the console cable hooked upto the router? im going through the router still atm.
 
im trying, but im stuck at the tftp_file stage, it thinks im trying to enter a command and complains. yes im very :confused: about what im doing.
 
illegal ip address again... are those the exact settings i should've used or just examples? the only one i changed was file name.

maybe i am using tftpd wrongly?
 
well it just keeps giving me illegal ip address, think im gonna have to admit defeat on this one and shelve it. :( i hate networking. :p
