Did you download it, or are you trying to just open it? What you do is download it to your computer ("save to disk" instead of "open with") and I would use a tftp server and upgrade the IOS that way. It will not do anything with your config at all, but just in case, back up the config and the existing IOS. If you need help upgrading the IOS, let me know and I will be glad to help.

burtsbees, I downloaded it, then tried to open it. I have a system set up as a tftp server, I will download the current configs, but I am going to wait until next week to upgrade the routers since we are very busy on weekends and if one blew up I'd have hell to pay. Could you mark this thread in case I do need any assistance next week?
Thanks, Dawn

I was only kidding as noted above..I don't really care whose FTP Site is from whom...I got plenty of resources.

Hi, I just got 2 Routers, unfortunately they have a username/password using their internal authentication server. I was hoping I could get an IOS file from someone.

Plug the DB-9 connector end into the serial port of your computer, and the RJ-45 end into the console port of the router. Open HyperTerminal (Windows---Start-->All Programs-->Accessories-->Communications-->HyperTerminal), then name the connection, choose COM1, click ok, then select "Restore Defaults" on the next screen, hit ok. Then power on the router, and you will see output for about 2 minutes. After the output is done, it will ask two questions---no and yes, in that order. Then it will say "press return to get started"---press return. More output. Press return a few more times, and you will get a prompt like this...
Router>
then type
Router>en
Router#?
It will give all the commands possible from that prompt. Then type
Router#conf t
Router(config)#?
Again, it will give you all the commands. Please let me know your skill level with routing, switching, tcp/ip, and networking in general, especially Cisco, and I will give you my ftp server address. It is no longer as listed above, because the IP address changes often. I am assuming you are trying to study for CCENT/CCNA? If so, you have one hell of a good router to start with.
