While replying to another email about 2600 ROM Monitor commands, I came across this caveat in the guide: <snip> The tftpdnld command downloads a Cisco IOS software image from a remote server accessible from an Ethernet or Token Ring network interface on a Cisco 2600 series router. The tftpdnld command downloads the Cisco IOS software image into Flash memory using TFTP. The following software restrictions apply when using the tftpdnld command: Ethernet platform--Only accepts and sends Ethernet V2.0 data packets. <snip> Interesting, huh? I think that if my guess about the ARP issue wasn't correct, I'm still in the right ballpark. If not, please let me know so I don't continue to pound my head against my desk. I've already left indentations...on the desk AND my head.
