Thank-you for replying.
I have since resolved the issue:
As i said, I tried all of that, When i typed 'write erase' it was from a
hyper terminal console. That actually sets it back to factory BUT Cisco
ships them with the following settings:
Outside interface set to auto and to dhcp.
Inside set to 100full and with a default range IP pool
and sets the route for dhcp.
I actaully had to reload the terminal after the 'write erase' and then go
back into enable and type: 'configure factory-default' this ran for about 30
seconds and configured everything the way the documantation said it would =
cool because this allowed me to connect to the internet and assign an IP
dynamically from the PIX to my PC, It also solved the
https://192.168.1.1/startup.html issue.
I appreciate your response.. I honestly didn't think anyone would...cool.
Thanks
Tony
