Help with PIX 501 Please

Hi
I am new to configuring firewalls and was given a used PIX 501.
I downloaded CiscoKits TFTP server and used the Info from:http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/vpndevc/ps2030/products_password_recovery09186a008009478b.shtml#sample
and downloaded the .bin file.
There is an IP address on the top of the case 192.168.45.6, I can get in and see the version on the PIX so its I hope the correct bin file I have downloaded I have a crossover cable from O to my laptop along with a console cable, but am unable to ping the TFTP server, its windows 7 i'm running and below is a copy of the syntax from TeraTerm:

Cisco PIX Firewall Version 6.3(3)
Cisco PIX Device Manager Version 3.0(1)

Any pointers very much accepted.

Hi
Update from last post.

I have changed TFTP Server twice since the last post and still can not ping??? Now using SolarWinds

Could well be something I'm doing (More than likley)

Have also checked the .Bin file and have downloaded the correct file for this version 6.3(3) = np63.bin

I have also changed cables twice just in case it was the cable that was faulty

Crossover cable from Con 0 --->> Laptop
Power lights - On
LINK?ACT Light - On (Solid)

Any Help Pointers

Do you have the windows firewall (or any other firewall) running on the TFTP server laptop? If so, shut it down OR configure it to allow ICMP and UDP port 69.)

Hi
Thank you for the reply.
I was thinking about that I have a small home network set up and that was the next step I was going to take.

I will post my findings once I have tried it, maybe of help to someone else who is in this predicamen. :idea: t

Hi
Just to let you know that it was the Local Area Connection settings in my laptop that were causing the problem.

Now got it working and restored to factory settings.

Just need to find some material to start having some fun with it.

Thanks for your help.

Aha, glad it worked any way
