I've never actually used the software myself.  I still wonder why he is
loosing the config every time the router reloads.  It sounds like the
config-register is either set wrong or he has a hardware problem.

I'll have to try the software loader one of these days.  Thanks for the
link.

Aaron, I've had pretty good luck doing upgrades through Cisco router
software loader. Recently upped my 2501's using the tool. Perhaps
"groupstudy" might consider the download. It's free at
http://www.cisco.com/pcgi-bin/tablebuild.pl/rsl

Try the method that I listed about booting in boot mode and then doing the
upgrade.  If you're in boot mode a reload won't be necessary.  Are you sure
that you're config-reg is set correctly.  If it's set to 0x2142 the
configuration will be ignored upon reload.  If you do a show start the
config will be there, but not in a show run.  Could you send a show ver?

Hi Aaron
  Thanks for your reply, but I did the same upgrade to my 2501,and it's
working .
  the tftp server  is connected through the ethernet port while it's not
accessible to tftp server due to the lose of configure after the reload
. ----Well i found this additional issue ,the router to which i am gonna
give a upgrade is now losing its NVRAM info every time it is reloaded or
power on/off, I think that's why the router is not accessible to the tftp
server anymore after the reload during the upgrade---because my 2514 can not
'remember' the startup-configuration !!  How am i gonna do now .
