Steven, "Write erase" erases the configuration written to memory (stored in NVRAM). The currently running configuration remains in tact until you reboot the system. Basically, what you're doing is erasing the stored config while keeping your current config, tftping a new config to the stored config, and then promptly overwriting it with the current config once you issue a "write memory". What you should do is "write erase" the NVRAM, tftp the new config to the NVRAM, and then reload. If it prompts you to save configuration changes, answer "NO" because you already have the configuration you want waiting for you in NVRAM :).

I do a write erase on the pix to blow the old one away and then do un upload via tftp but then when I do a wr mem, it still has the old config. Any ideas?
