    Hello,

     

    Which tftp server you are using & which port on the NS5GT is connected to tftp server?

    Also is tftp server directly connected to NS5GT?

     

    Following error indicates that authentication-key on the NS 5GT is not able to authenticate ScreenOS version on the box.

    Yeah initially i was using some small tftp server.

    But read somewhere Solarwind TFTP server is better compared to others.

    downloaded and tried that initially it was the same.Timeout.

    Then i manually binded the ip to the tftp server.

     

    Then it worked like a charm.

    Now my NS5GT is working again.
