Cisco 7960 Funny Bugs on SIP Proxy changed through keypress

During the recent upgrade I was about to change my network topology and separate it into different networks. I need to get my SIP Proxy also changed. I changed in the phone manually and rebooted the phone to take effect. Funny 7960 saved all the settings and did not connect to the SIP Proxy. Checked with Wireshark and checked all the packets around, found it is still looking for previous SIP Proxy server.

Easiest way to check the 7960 phone is to telnet into it with ("cisco") as default password. type "show network" to know more about the network configuration of the phone.Changed the alternate tftp server to "Yes" the changed the tftp server. (God, atleast this works.).

Gets is configuration from the configuration file through tftp and went on smoothly from there.
It is another bug which makes the user to mess around with the phone. Poor regression testing from Cisco again.

Enjoy with the phone.
