This is a continuation of my earlier posting.

I am doing hands-on lab exercises during my off-class hours. Normally, in 
one chapter there 7-9 different router set-ups which involve 3-5 routers and 
2-3 switches (2900XL). So after,completing one lab exercise, I have to erase 
all the router configurations and do a reload
to have a clean start for the next lab exercise.

As shown below, the router is booting up and there is this "%error opening 
tftp:...", this takes a while waiting before I can start configuring the 
router. I compared the "show ver" of this router and the other router 
(Router-A) which does not exhibit this tftp error and
there are no differences in the image files, configuration registers, etc. 
Another router has the same problem and again there are no differences.

But this behavior is not consistent. At one time, after the reload and 
rebooting, the router will not show this tftp error and then in another 
instance, this tftp error appears.

The command "#no service config" will be effective only for that session but 
after clearing up and reloading, this tftp error appears.

Did anybody experience this before? I would highly appreciate if you can 
share your solution.

Thanks.

Arthur

PS: As suggested, we performed a password recovery on the routers to remove 
the "%tftp error... it also did not work.
