Alright so I was trying to start a lab in GNS3 with my 2600 image well because the program told me that the two checksums didn't work out, I needed to see if I had a bad image since I had to use tftp to transfer the image off the router to my laptop.
I tried multiple times to copy the image from my laptop to my flash drive but my flashdrive would get messed up to where I would have to reformat the drive everytime. After I got tired of this, I tried to connect the wireless on my laptop. Well that didn't work out so well for some reason.
I ended up bring my laptop up to my room, connecting it to my second port on my desktop and assigning two static ip addresses between the laptop and the second network interface on my desktop.
After trying to telnet/ssh into the laptop multiple times because the laptop would not keep the static ip address, I tried to ftp/tftp to and from the laptop. That didn't work out either.
I thought of apache. I saw that I had the test webpage on my laptop through typing in the static ip address in the web browser. I edited the page to make a url so I can download the image from the laptop. I had the wrong directory and then the laptop lost the ip address. So I reassigned the same ip address again, copied the image to the folder where the html file was, and then edited the webpage.
I clicked on the link on my desktop and downloaded the image. Then I compared the md5 hash from the image that I downloaded from my laptop with the image that I already had on the desktop and they matched.
When all of this was done... I felt pretty awesome.
Now off to see why I can't get the image to work in GNS3.......later on.
