Oh, default username= pix and password= cisco

I'm very close, but I have one problem,  my server is on a very secure network.  

I have the Pix connected to a PC and I have the Bin file directly on that machine.  

Do i even need to FTP into a Server, why can't I simply run the bin file directly from the Machine I'm plugged into?

I tried user name pix and password cisco, didn't work.

Can you show me what the code would look like if I'm trying to load the bin file from the machine I'm directly connected to.   Why would I have to FTP to it.  I don't know the default gateway of the server. I'm on a PC which is on a outside Internet line, which is on the outside of a Cisco Firewall and there is no way a hyperterminal is getting past this system with a simple IP and Server IP and Gateway to a FTP file.

Any other suggestions.

No unfortunately you need to transfer the bin to the PIX, to get this working you should download free TFTP software and setup on your pc - http://tftpd32.jounin.net/

What do they mean by this?

Addresses a.b.c.d <Enter> Use the inside interface of your PIX from the map for a.b.c.d

from what map?

smckeown777 is correct, you need TFTP for that.
Solarwinds also has a good one: http://www.solarwinds.com/products/freetools/free_tftp_server.aspx

Ehr, where are you reading that?

Ok, see this link for step by step, you were reading my first link which had a number of different postings, ignore that - use this

http://www.petenetlive.com/KB/Article/0000064.htm

Also, this posting you were reading

address 10.10.10.10
server 10.10.10.11
file np52.bin
gateway 10.10.10.1
ping 10.10.10.11
tftp
y

This is a list of commands that are needed, he was summarising from the link i just posted, when he mentions 'server' this is your pc IP address(server meaning the TFTP server, which when you download it and run it will be running on your pc)
Not sure if you even need gateway(if you are on same network/LAN as Pix you won't)

@smckeown777:
Ah, got it (getting late over here :)

As you said, shouldn't need a gateway.

No worries @erniebeek, my fault, should have just posted the actual step by step, can be hard to figure all these things out if there are multiple answers/ways!

Yep :)

How do you setup the TFTP software properly?  I'm using the TFtpd32 software.  

I see my server IP which showed up the same as my PC IP name.  but what do I use for the Address IP then?

Do i configure the TFTP Client to a different IP that I make up?

Address IP is the IP you are assigning the PIX basically

Server IP is your pc IP(since this is running the TFTP server)

So if your pc IP is 192.168.1.10 for example, set the PIX IP to something in the same subnet - 192.168.1.11 for example

What is the IP of your PC at minute?

Tried this is what i got.
tftp np63.bin@192.168.12.100
TFTP failed (return:-1 arg:0x0)
monitor>

This is what I put in.

monitor> interface 1
0: i8255X @ PCI(bus:0 dev:17 irq:9 )
1: i8255X @ PCI(bus:0 dev:18 irq:10)

Using 1: i82557 @ PCI(bus:0 dev:18 irq:10), MAC: xxxx

tftp np63.bin@192.168.12.100  - sat for awhile thinking. then said

monitor>

Did you define the correct interface?

monitor> interface 1

this is what happens when I type interface 1 and hit enter, I put xxx for the mac address.
monitor> interface 1
0: i8255X @ PCI(bus:0 dev:17 irq:9 )
1: i8255X @ PCI(bus:0 dev:18 irq:10)

Using 1: i82557 @ PCI(bus:0 dev:18 irq:10), MAC: xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx
monitor>

What I meant was, is you pc connected to interface 1 (and not to interface 0 by any chance)?

Hyper terminal using Com 1

Bits per second 9600

Data bits 8
parity none
stop bits 1
flow control -hardware

is that right?

I use XON/XOFF for the flow control.

But in my previous comment I referred to the interface on the PIX (0 or 1).

Again this is what happens

Use BREAK or ESC to interrupt flash boot.
Use SPACE to begin flash boot immediately.
Flash boot interrupted.

Yes I saw that.

So is your pc connected to interface 1 on the PIX (using UTP)?

Again, sorry not sure what you mean by
But in my previous comment I referred to the interface on the PIX (0 or 1).

I have a Serial cable plugged directly into the Console from my PC no other Ethernet cables are plugged in.  

The PC's address is 192.168.12.100, I installed a tftp program on the PC and it shows the tftp address as 192.168.12.100 so I used that for my server IP, I simply gave the the address IP 192.168.12.1 but I'm not sure how that works since the router isn't connected to any interface.  so,  maybe that is my problem.  

Does the Internet have to go into the Cisco and then I connect my PC to it from one of the LAN, then also have the Serial cable plugged in.  I thought the data I'm TFTPing from was comming through the serial cable.  If that's not the case then that is probably my issue.

Ok that was it,  but now what do I use for the password.  I go to log in and I tried username pix and password cisco and I can't log in.

Rebooting.

If you use the console you shouldn't have to give a username. If the password cisco doesn't work, just try to give an enter (no password).

Do you know the cmd to see the current running conifig?

sh run
