I found the information on CISCO's website oh how to reset the password
on the pix box but I can't get it to work. I think the outside
interface of my router is 10.100.142.1. I have a cable going from the
console port to a serial port on another PC. I then have a network
cable going from the PC that the console cable is plugged into the port
4 of the PIX 501 box. Lastly I hard code the ip address of this PC to
make sure the pix box and the pc are in the same network. I still
can't get the PC to ping the pix box and vice versa so that I can do a
tftp transaction.

Thank you,
Walter .Q Mason III
