Hi Rik,
In his original question John specifically stated:
"...but it looks like it's loosing it's ip address during the reboot
<yes, i saved the config>..."
I suppose that's why nobody (including myself) dared to suggest that he
might not have saved the config after setting the IP and enabling the
interface ;-)
I must admit though that your suggestion made me think of another
possibility that wasn't mentioned yet: Maybe the config-register was
accidentally still set to 0x2142 from a previous password recovery
procedure and the router is not losing its IP address, but simply
ignoring it when it reboots.
John, could you verify that your config-register is set to the default
of 0x2102 (not 0x2142 or any other value with bit 6 turned on)?
Regards,

One thing I didn't see in all the replies:
Let's say you have a 2500 router with no startup config and you want to
update the IOS. Before you go through the "copy tftp flash" script, add
an
address to E0, "no shut" it, and then save the config. If you don't
save
the config, the addressing is lost when the router reboots and then of
course it can't see the TFTP server.
I update my Lab 2500s all the time this way and unless I have a hardware
problem, it always goes smoothly.
Rik

Subject: 2500 problem loading IOS
my buddy here @ work has a 2500 w/ 16/16. i'm trying up upgrade to 12.2
and
am having some trouble w/ the tftp. after i do a copy tftp flash and
specify the file it askes if i want to erase the config in flash...i say
yes. it says "ok, dude - i must reboot"... then it reboots. when i
comes
back up it times out when trying to connect to the tftp server. i've
tried
pinging the router when it comes back up but it looks like it's loosing
it's
ip address during the reboot <yes, i saved the config>. does anyone
have
any suggestions on how to get this sucker up?
TIA.
