When you boot the router per the above direction do you get to the ROMMON> prompt or the Router(boot)>prompt?

yes I did and I did not go to the desire step of setiing up the router. I get the message I pasted before basicly this is happing:
boot: cannot open "flash:"
boot: cannot determine first file name on device "flash:"

If you are unable to boot to anything besides rommon then you will need to load your IOS with the this.

What Am I doing wrong here?

PHY did not complete auto-negotation, status = 0x100
.........
ARP: address resolution for 172.16.11.49 timed out.
ARP failed with failure code 1. TFTP transfer aborted.

TFTP: Operation terminated prematurely.

that1guy15

That message is saying the router is not getting a ARP reply from the tftp server. is there a firewall or anything in between these two that could be blocking tftp communication?

that1guy15

Verify the following:

The TFTP server is running.

The IOS file is in the root directory of the TFTP server.

If possible, connect directly to the PC running the TFTP server with a crossover cable.

If the router has two built-in Ethernet or fast Ethernet interfaces, always use the first interface (usually 0/0). You must use the built-in interface.

All variable commands must be upper case. The variable itself is case sensitive as in the case of a filename, as shown in the following example:

I am connected to the Router via console cable. This will work correct?

that1guy15

Yes you will need to be connected via the console and then also have another connection running from your tftp server to an interface.

Make sure you have a static Ip set on the tftp server and then the instructions show you how to configure the ip on the router interface. Make sure as i mentioned above to only use the first ethernet interface usually it is either f0/0 or e0/0.
