See if you can netinstall it. It sounds like the flash might be corrupted or erased.

I have this same problem. When I try netinstall things seem to go well, the image is loading but then I get this error:

trying bootp protocol… OK

I have heard that reflashing the bios, might solve this, but I am unable to find out how to reflash bios.

BTW I have the 2.12 BIOS firmware. I just don’t know how to flash this.

Use rs232 and a termial-tool (Upload)..

Thanks, after putting Hyperterminal on my Windows 7 machine, I was able to upload the BIOS firmware. After that was complete I was able to reload 4.13 and now everything is FAT & HAPPY :smiley:

Problem Solved.
