I think that the "ADSL" in the broadcast may be the name of the router.
I have seen this on one of my lab routers, and it tries to tftp the config, using different variants of it's name, one of which is routername-config.txt Symon -----Original Message----- From: Priscilla Oppenheimer [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 25 January 2003 19:10 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: Router boot up time [7:61848] 10 minutes? Are you exaggerating? :-) Anyway, try "no service config". That will get it to stop trying to download a config file with TFTP. You might want to figure out why it started doing that in the first place to make sure it doesn't happen again. It happens often in a lab environment with HDLC on serial ports. If you connect a router to another already configured router, via a serial x-over cable, for example, the new router SLARPs (gets an ip address from the other router) and then tries to find a TFTP server. Even if it doesn't find the server, it tries everytime you reboot anyway. But it looks like you have an ADLS router. I've never heard of that happening with an ADSL router, but perhaps it does. The solution in a lab at least is make sure the other router isn't connected. Connect the cable last.
