unable to backup my running-config to my tftp server

[zoltron30]

what do you guys think. i have setup a small lab running rip version 1. using packet tracer 5.1 and setup 5 routers and a tftp server. im able to ping across the network, setup nat without any problems, nat translations look fine, and i'm able to access the web server address from my PC's web browser, but i am unable to copy my running-config file to the tftp server from my other routers. although the router directly connected to the tftp server is able to copy its running-config to the server.


here is the error message:

Address or name of remote host []? 68.10.10.2
Destination filename [Router-confg]?
.....
%Error opening tftp://68.10.10.2/Router-confg (Timed out)
Router#

i'm able to ping the 68.10.10.2 address and the router directly connected to the tftp server can copy its configuration file to the server.....

Have you mapped the tftp port (69) through nat with the static entry?

ip nat inside source static udp (inside ip address) 69 (outside ip address) 69 extendable

Hope that helps.

I seriously doubt that PT will take that command....but it was great input, Jeff!
Take off your NAT on the interfaces. That will tell you if oyu have a NAT issue or not.
