Thanks for the explanation, I was guessing something similar like that. I've finally settled down on ios image 12.3(14)T7 IP/FW/PLUS 3DES. This allows me the 3 features I wanted (for now), namely: dynamic dns, VPN, and demilatirze zone. I've tried one other 12.4 image with PLUS (only PLUS...

Burt, could you explain what's the difference between the two registers?

Burt, I did it! Here is what I did: 1) used my "original" 12.3(7)T3 image, which is smaller than all the previous images I've tried. 2) used the tftpdnld without the -u switch. (I think the key was a SMALLER sized image!). Here's the screen capture: blue text is my comments red text is for...

Here is what I did: 1) tried to reload a smaller "T" ios image using "tftpdnld" (without parameter -u), and the image did load successfully. Then I did this, rommon1>confreg 2142 rommon1>reset which rebooted the router, then I get error message, "boot: cannot determine first file name on...

I think I've finally doomed myself. I went to load ios image 12.4(15)T5. I loaded it ok, rebooted the router ok... or so i thought! It went to the rommon1> prompt, so I did rommon1>confreg 2142 rommon2>reset router rebooted, comes up showing the latest IOS i've just installed, and then it...

and burt I really appreciate your time! if you ever need an ios image, let me know, if i can help i'll do it!

Thanks, I was able to delte the unknown user, might as well since I do'nt know its password! Alright, I'm gonna proceed to save my running config to a file and then upgrade IOS and reload the config. Wish me luck! but I'll probably be back here crying for help soon!. lol

Yes I have the same router as thetdz. I was able to successfully generate a 1024-bit RSA key following your directions above. So this is done. Now I'll go check out Putty like you said. You may be right in that somebody must have setup a username before me. This router was used in a...

oops! Looks like I posted two outputs of "sh run". The first set of output is incomplete, the second set of output is complete, and apparently with my username and password too, hehe.. (Can't seem to edit my post so I'm postng this)

Thanks for the tips, I knew it was something similar but just couldn't get the exact syntax down. I'm picking a lot of cisco stuff just in this post alone. As a newbie, just the act of cracking into the console of the 831 and gain access to it got me excited, and getting the 831 to the point...

Burt, first I would like to thank you for this post. I'm a total cisco newbie, and I've had the Cisco 831 for 6 months and didn't know what to do with it. After reading your post, I now have a nice router that was just a doorstop in my room. I know this post is old and didn't want to drug it...
