Hi, are you sure that router is up? there was some ethernet interface up before this problem? can you ping it?

If is not maybe the router do not finish boot procces, try go to rommonitor when restart the router.

Please try the following:

Switch off the router.

Connect your PC to the console.

Switch ON the router.

You should now see clear text when the router boots.

If not, your config-register is probably messed up.

Dear Shukky,

This is appearently not your lucky day.

You now say that the screen remains blank.

That is a different ballgame indeed.

First make sure that your Terminal (PC with Hyperterm) is working. You will need another serial device to check communicatons for that. If this is the case, and the console of your router is-and remains showing blanks, your router is probably dead.

I am having similar problems and alot of people have given information.

Have you tried to turn the router off and when you restart it, hit the contrl/break key combination within thirty seconds?

Also, this site might help...

Now guess, what i tried speed 9600 upwards, but i got consoel at 1200 baud rate, i checked my config register is showing me variuos combinations after

booting first was 0x1024, then 0x3102 now its 0x8102, its not taking the value of register at global-config mode, any Ideas..My fellow Networkers
