Having touble pinging a TFTP Server

Connect a PC using the console port to a router for the perpose of UPLOADING IOS to a TFTP Server on my PC. I connect the PC Host to a router E0/0, I config the PC with a (static IP 192.168.1.2 subnet mask 255.255.255.0 ), and Config the router with a (static IP Address 192.168.1.1 subnet mask 255.255.255.0) Configurations below However, once i try to Ping the PC Host IP Address 192.168.1.2 ,it fails, here are the config, can anyone distinquish what is wrong!! I used a cross-over cable to connect the router to the PC.

The Router is a Cisco 2600 platform

Thanks!!!!!!

hi jesse,

add the default gateway 192.168.1.1 on your PC and try again.

I'm assuming, from the post, that it's a WindoZe machine.

Do you have the Windows firewall turned off? Or at least modified to allow PING? It blocks PING by default, especially on Windows 7 (and 2008, and XP) - which means no matter how hard you try, you're not going to be able to PING your PC interface from anywhere.

Cheers

I would like to thank everyone for their advise an d input, it help me solve my problem. Thank you all!!! Tremendously, the solution was firewall and the full duplex, defualt gateway 192.168.1.1

Thank's

Hi,

try to Ping the router (192.168.1.1) from the PC.

There might be a personal FW running on the PC denying the ping reply.

If not successful, check the ARP tabloe on the router by show arp command. Does it show and ARP entry fo rthe PC (

192.168.1.2)?

I'd also try to leave the duplex auto in the router port, but don't think it's the root problem.

HTH,

Milan

Hi Jesse,

On the router side, do a "show interface" to check that the interface is up and the in/out packet rate. You can also use "debug ip packet" or debug icmp to see what is being received/sent. On the Windows ME side you can use Wireshark to see what was on the wire. Then, you will definetely have a clear reason of the problem.

PS: Maybe for some reason it's not responding with it's own IP address.

Hope that helps!

One piece of good news in a previous post is that the show arp from the router does include the MAC address of the PC. So we know that the connection is good and that the devices are talking at layer 2. Milan suggested that Jesse try to ping the router from the PC and I agree that this is a good suggestion. I do not see any evidence that Jesse has done that yet.

I agree that the most likely issue is a firewall running on the PC which frequently is configured by default to deny ping to the PC. And in my experience the firewall will also frequently deny incoming requests for TFTP. So after Jesse solves the problem with ping he may have a similar problem with TFTP.

Hi Jesse,

Checked all the FW setting as suggested by mate.

Straight cable also works. Try this may help.

HI,

router to pc should be crossover cable.

i seen eth0/0 in half duplex, change it to full duplex and stop window FW in computer.

and then try....
