I just got a used Cisco 3640 Router and I cannot connect to it at all?

I dont have a RJ-45 to DB9 cable, I am trying to connect from
Ethernet0 using a crossover cable to my PC, the manual says Ethernet0
should be 10.10.10.1 but I cant ping it...any ideas?

Thanks

Jerrit

E0 may be any IP address or it could be administratively shut down.

Would suggest you find a console cable and save yourself a lot of grief.

You can connect to your PC using a RJ45-to-DB9 connector. The pinout
of the cable is 1-8 on one side and 8-1 on the other side. To know the
pinout of the RJ45-to-DB9 connector, check out the following link:

You really need the console cable. What I did was get one on eBay for
$10. I'll send it to you for $50 . But seriously, it is $10
well-spent, and it will be all yours!
