C827, TFTP

[DManigo]

Some how the IOS was erased from the router,so I need to relaod the image. I downloaded a TFTP server program from Solaris which has a upload cisco config utility. I noticed within the rommon 1> line and also in this utility, I need to specify the routers ip as well as the TFTP server IP. I have the TFTP IP but can't specify the routers IP as it doesn't have one.
Now the router doesn't enter romon1>, it displays characters instead, HELP PLEASE !!!

Okay......image is on the flash...now looks like a main memory problem.....Might consider opening the unit up remove and reseat the main memory. Did you get this router new or used or supplies by your internet provider?

Hold on that BRB......

Okay....In looking at the available images for that router 99.9% require 20 to 24 meg main mem and 8 flash so I assumed that the router had this.....In reasearching this router found that only ships with 16....should have caught that in one of your other posts....I managed to locate the only image that will work with 16/8 mem. Try loading it and let me know....image on the way...
