Rommon cannot TFTP image on TFTP Server

I have lost image on Disk0. When in Rommon I assign
Ip address to E0/0 - 192.168.1.1
Server - 192.168.1.10
Gateway not needed as both devices connected to local switch
Cannot ping the Ethernet port

Did you do a no shut on the E0/0 ?
By default the ports are in shutdown mode

Yes I did a no shut on the port. In fact when I type rommon>int e0/0

it tells me the port is up and also gives the mac address.

can you ping the e0/0 from another device on the network. I had a similar problem with a laptop i was trying to use as Tftp server . The firewall on it wouldnt allow the transfers even if i truned it completely off. I ended up tftping off the switch.

I can ping from the Rommon prompt to the TFTP server when I use a cross-over cable directly from E0/0 into the laptops Eithernet. However I get no reply when ping from the laptop to E0/0

When both devices are connected to a local switch I cannot ping eiother way.

The asa will block the inbound ping by default with the cross over.
With the switch i would suspect you have a mismatch of speed/duplex which is causing an issue.

Can you tftp from the cross over scenerio? And do you see it attempting to login on the laptop?

Try this program, its got a tftp server built in to a terminal program,full source code is availiable on vbcity here.

if you use the source you can see exactly what connection is happening.

I cannot TFTP using the crossover option, and I cannot see it attempting to login to the laptop. An error come up that says this: "TFTP Failure: Packet verify failure after 20 retries"

I am not sure how to correct this, as most searches I have done do not have a fix or any logical way of getting round this problem....

Some claification on this just incase...

rommon>int e0/1 (Inside Interface)
rommom>address 172.16.45.1 (Assign IP Address to Inside Interface)
rommon>server 172.16.45.10 (IP Address of internal TFTP Server)
rommon>gateway 172.16.45.10 (IP Address of Internal TFTP Server Not Necessary if on the same LAN)
rommon>file asa821-k8.bin (Image File Name that you want to copy to the flash)
rommon>tftp

ASA should automatically restart now.
1. Log in as normal
2. run a "sh flash"
3. verify that the image you want to use is there "asa821-k8.bin"
4. run "sh ru boot"
5. verify that only the image you want to use is listed there "boot system disk0:/asa821-k8.bin"
