Going to need some additional information here.

1. Is the TFTP server also your PC, or is it a separate device? If the TFTP server is a separate devices please provide the IP address and subnet mask for it as well.

2. What commands are you issuing from the router to try to access the TFTP server and the file that you want to obtain from it?

3. What is the error message you are seeing from the router? If no error message please describe what is happening.

The tftp is my pc.

Commands:
copy tftp flash
192.168.10.101
the name of the firmware file

clarson

has this ever worked for you before?
is your tftp server running?
what is the directory that the tftp server is using?
what is the directory and file permissions?
what messages does the tftp server provide?

This is the first time I've ever attempted this. My tftp server is running I've tried both solardwinds and certificationkits tftp servers. This is where my files are stored: C:\TFTP-Storage with no permissions set to it. The server doesnt give me any message other than tftp server service started [UDP - 69]

clarson

try copying a file from the router to your tftp server
a file such as your startup configuration file.

it seems like your firewall is blocking port 69

Thanks for the help clarson. I had to remove dhcp from my router. Dont know why, I had everything configured in the same subnet?

Are the TFTP server and router directly connected? They don't sound like it, it sounds like you have them connected via your home network? If so try directly connecting the TFTP server directly to your router, configure static IP addresses on the same subnet for both of them. And then try transferring something between them.

Mr.Network

1. check the firewall on the PC.
2. Check if the source name of the file is correct.
3. Configure static IP on both device like James mention.

Do we assume therefore that you've now done it?
