Ronnie, I guess that is the puzzeling part of this. I took the default config, meaning I only added the "router rip" and "network 172.16.0.0" commands. I never added a version or redistribute command. I ended up added "version 2" and a "redistribute connected" command and that corrected my ping problem. Also, on Router2501A, I have no idea where the no auto-summary statement came from either. But, it is working now....
Thanks for your help and ideas.
