I got this weird situation here: I got router A that dials into router B through an analog modem (async lines). On both routers A and B, I am using dialer profiles with rotary-groups. B is also connected to the Internet, through E0 (to a cable modem), and I have properly set up NAT, so that E0 is the outside interface and the dialer interface is the inside interface. A can properly dial into B with no problem. A has a static route pointing to its dialer interface. A does not have any other routes (all other interfaces have been shut, etc.) So basically, A has to dial to B to get anywhere. I have verified that dialing does indeed work properly. A cannot ping the outside world. For example, if I ping www.yahoo.com I get nothing. But here's the really weird part. Apparently, A can trace to www.yahoo.com, with no problem. I should also state that my dialer-list is this: dialer-list 1 protocol ip permit So, does anybody know why I can trace, but not ping? Is there something about Async interfaces or Dialer interfaces that causes thing weird behavior to happen?
