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

I would ytry the TFTPD32 server from here http://tftpd32.jounin.net/
also make sure that your Windows7 firewall is either turned off, or you have enabled a "hole" in it for TFTP

the firewall is off. I am downloading he tftp software now...... Thanks
If you use the line "monitor 0" you need to connect to the outside interface of the PIX, if you do not use the line "monitor 0" then use the inside interface

I think the issue is that I am not able to ping the pix from the pc. I thought the IP was 192.168.1.1 but it does seems to be correct.
Is there a way to find the crrect IP for this device?

When you boot the PIX into monitor mode it has no addresses, this is why you need to assign an address to it.
If you are not able to ping the PC, and the PC firewall is off, lets start with some basic steps
Are you connected directly from the PC to the PIX using an Ethernet cable ?
Does the PC show that the Ethernet pot is "up" ?
Which pot on the PIX are you connecting to ?

Are you connected directly from the PC to the PIX using an Ethernet cable ? Yes, I am console into the pix using a console cable and I also connect the nic on the pc to port 0 on the pix.
Does the PC show that the Ethernet pot is "up" ?I am getting a link light
Which pot on the PIX are you connecting to ?
I have tried port 0 and 1 and the result is the same....

what subnet mast have you configured on the PC ?
the subnet mask should be 255.255.255.0
ASKER
255.255.255.0
if you have another computer to test with, connect it to port 2 on the PIX, configure the other PC with 192.168.1.3 and see if you can ping 192.168.1.2
