One suggestion, I am not sure what is going on at your side but would recommend you to transfer the files as binary. I have tried with linux - '-m binary' does it for linux but not sure what option you need to supply in the command line in case of windows. The help page should show this - please try with this option and post your findings.
Has anyone gotten an image to tftp to this router over an IP connection (i.e. WITHOUT using a serial console cable)???
All of the instructions I've found here require the serial cable.
I'm trying to flash over an ethernet connection - I can ping the router, I'm even sniffing traffic and can see the TFTP read requests coming from the router to my PC, but I can't get the router to download the image from my PC.
I've tried the command line TFTP in windows:
tftp -i 192.168.1.1 PUT wgr614v8_1_1_11_6_0_36_na.chk
when i do this, i see the tftp write message go to the router in my packet sniffer, but no connection ensues. I'm running the TFTP put just after I see the TFTP read from the router.
Router's LAN IP is 192.168.1.1
PC's LAN IP is 192.168.1.2
both are plugged into a hub so my windows NIC doesn't go to sleep when I power cycle the router.
I see no reason for this not to work - anyone else see any issues with what I'm doing?
Please help!
maybe someone else can verify this, but the "-i" switch is the binary transfer switch
good suggestion, but I think I've been using binary
