Note: I can only access the IPS via rommon only becuase the existing ios is cuppted and formatted.
The rommon output is give bellow:
rommon #2> set
ROMMON Variable Settings:

rommon #1> ping 192.168.2.16
Sending 20, 100-byte ICMP Echoes to 192.168.2.16, timeout is 4 seconds:

rommon #2>
The major problem is that i cannot ping the ips interface address  192.168.2.16) while i can ping all the others.
Thanks in anticipation!

Hi,
From the error message the file was not found on the tftp server.
I see that you have:
  IMAGE=C:\IOS\Tftpd32\IPS-4240-k9-sys-1.1-a-6.1-1-E2.img
I am guessing that this should be:
  IMAGE=IPS-4240-k9-sys-1.1-a-6.1-1-E2.img
as the tftp daemon on your machine probably is using  C:\IOS\Tftpd32\ as the 'root' directory of the files it is serving.
You can check this in the settings of the tftp daemon.
Best regards, Peter
