Thanks Mike,
That was it. I was doing the same thing. Starting up my laptop (DELL-w2k)
with the serial cable attached to the console port of the switch. I know I
need to upgrade the switch IOS however this is a new customer and I wanted
to get some information on their network first.
Thanks to everyone else for their responses as well.
Zubin
