Dear Eric, The issue was using a router as a TFTP server... Anyway, I tried to reproduce what you did using a Cisco 2513 and a workstation (the TFTP server) and it did not work! Looks like my router was smart enough to figure out I was copying junk :) Cheers, Pierre -----Original Message----- From: Erick B.
