Corrupt COMOS, cant reflash

I am having problems reflashing a corrupt COM-OS.

The machine gave me junk at loading COM-OS so I flip switch 2 up and
reboot, it rarps, i escape enter an address and tftp boot off a generic
3.3.2 com-os.

The problem is, I am now trying to reflash it but no machines on my
network can find it even tho I just netbooted it!

I have already type set register 0xffff 0x0f63
And
ifconfig ether0 address 207.235.58.131

The ip address of my server is 207.235.58.121 and they are in the same
class C.

Weird thing...

DURING netboot, I can ping the pm box for a short time. about 10 pings get
thru, then it stops pinging. Its as if the ip address is changing, but I
then use ifconfig to change it back, to no avail!

Any suggestions?
