Hi,

I spent 3 days trying to upgrade my 7960's with similar probs to what
you
say. My problem was that my TFTP server didnt follow the RFC's properly
and
didnt respond with 'file not found' when a file didnt exist. the phone
kept
on looking for the same file over and over and never moved on to the
next
step in the upgrade process.

the trick for me was to use a different TFTP server. Klever Pumpkin,
Windows
2000, and the newer 3Cd all worked. my original broken TFTP server was a
3Com one. so perhps you should try pumpkin as its prolly the easiest for
a
temp solution.

cheers,
Mick
