Cisco router 851 startup question

[k2k]

I just got a used Cisco 851 router from ebay and ready to play around with it.

i connected it to my computer com port and start seeing something from the putty serial connection.

i see something like this repeating and repeating.. what does that mean?
Translating "stipp2.srv.hcvlny.cv.net"...domain server (255.255.255.255)

i tried resetting the router to the manufacture setting by rebooting it and press the reset key.

then i see..

i know i need to reset a bunch of things but i need to be able to type in things first... any idea/suggestion?

[imras.b]

First time when you switch on the router than it will ask a msg that you need to configure the initial configuration (yes/no)?????so 99% will type no,so when you see this msg just type no and press enter..
after you can configure you router how you want,if not let me know???

[k2k]

I pasted everything I saw on the console in the previous thread. I don't think there was such a message. So far I haven't been able to type anything to any command prompt and get response. = (

thanks

[k2k]

i started to suspect that whoever sold me the router had set a long timeout for the dns lookup. so the "Translating "whatever hostname" ... domain server (255.255.255.255)" goes on forever.

What a prank!..

is there anyway to break the dns lookup? = (

now it should work.......

if any error than post to me

[k2k]

thanks..but again i am not able to be at any mode. mainly because "PASSWORD RECOVERY FUNCTIONALITY IS DISABLED"

ROMMON mode is locked.

i think i have googled any possible to unlock it.. but no luck.. no removable backup battery.. no removable NVRAM.. i guess i have purchased a potato device.

[gstar75]

I am experiencing the same problem...did you ever resolve the issue?

[cguan_77]

if ROMMON mode is locked and password recovery is disabled..then it would take the impossible to break it..
