I was curious about the use of the static route you had. Since it is a route to a specific host, I was curious as to why this was used? Given that you have set your IP address as "negotiated," what happens when there is a packet for any other network or host besides 204.71.200.45? My recommendation would be to do the following - set up a default route that points to your BRI0 interface, or to a dialer interface (which is bound to your ISDN BRI0). 2. You do understand you have set this link up to be pinned up full time once you get it working? This command: dialer idle-timeout 2147483 effectively does that. If you are on a metered line, be prepared to shell out some big doneros for your first month's bill. If you have no meter on the line, don't worry about it. I would recommend the default value under most circumstances. 3. SPIDs are not required since you are using a basic-net3 ISDN switch type. 4. It's probably not relevant to your problem, but verify whether there is a requirement for your ISDN switch to do ten digit dialing. 22 Seconds is about long enough to get the evil operator tone and go "off hook." 5. I would definitely look at your authentication exchange. A simple debug ppp auth will do the trick. Is one side authenticating, but not the other? Is your ISP doing CHAP only? Your Winthing using MS-DUN typically wants to use MS- CHAP unless you tell it otherwise. The same may be true for the router. You may even want to use the "ppp auth chap pap" command to use CHAP first, then revert to PAP. You will of course need extra entries to configure chap. If you are running post 12.0 code, your router should support MS-CHAP as well. Make sure if you are not at the console to execute the "term mon" command to get debug sent to your telnet session. I would also turn on "debug IP ICMP" to see what is happening to your pings. Are you sending any pings? Are you getting replies? Follow up your pings with a trace command to see where your packets are going/dying. 6. A more useful show command would be "sho int bri0:1" You will want to see that IPCP is negotiated on your B channel. If not, the "debug ppp negotiation" command is very useful, particularly to tell you if there were any LCP anomalies. 7. I don't see any other interfaces in your config, but do you plan to use NAT? If so, that will add configuration entries that are not yet shown (and will need to be configured). 8. You may want to turn on multilink. It is generally a good thing.
