Thanks all for the help. I've got the config in correctly and had it working fine for a little bit, but once I did a reboot the box acts very strange. Basically can't get console access back into the box without doing a default configuration (holding down the default button while booting)
To avoid the console issue, I set up telnet for the box and telnet to it when I can't get the console up, and when I do a show line it don't get the * next to the tty lines. It's very weird and I'm not sure if they are hung up or what. I've tried a clear line on the lines as well. here's my config. CS#sh conf Using 503 out of 32512 bytes ! version 9.21 no service pad service password-encryption ! hostname CS ! enable password 7 02050D480809 ! ! interface Loopback0 ip address 1.1.1.1 255.255.255.255 ! interface Ethernet0 ip address 192.168.1.99 255.255.255.0 ! ! line con 0 login line 1 16 no exec exec-timeout 0 0 stopbits 1 line vty 0 password 7 070C285F4D06 login line vty 1 password 7 13061E010803 login line vty 2 password 7 01100F175804 login line vty 3 password 7 060506324F41 login line vty 4 password 7 110A1016141D login ! end See what you guys think. Am I missing something obvious? I haven't played with the comm-servers much at all. thanks a lot! ""Mike Sweeney"" wrote in message [EMAIL PROTECTED]">news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]... > Hmmmm...
