Hi NS,

Well, I'm nor sure about Embarq (sprint) DSL, but many ISPs use bridged rfc1483 encapsulation for their service, so that is the reason for the BVI and the suggest configuration.

The reason why they to that, is because when the CPE is a "dumb" modem/bridge, a PC directly connected via ethernet will work with either rfc1483 bridged or PPPoE encapsulation, but it would not work with rfc1483 routed encap.

I configured my old dsl 'modem' to use rfc1483...but I thought that was covered when I set the encapsulation to aal5snap in the pvc 8/35 within the atm 0/0...

Does it work with the config changes I suggested ?

The thing is that you have to use point-to-point interfaces for rfc1483, and the main ATM it is point-to-multipoint instead. So the need for a subinterface.

I did give that a try, simply executing those commands on top of the posted config...I would like to try it with a clean config, though. Now, I got the drift that you left the bvi in place and bridged it to the atm0/0.1, yes?

--scott

Yes. Pasting the lines should have been enough. May be they have routed encap, as NS incidentally suggested.

To try that, remove bridging, and configure IP directly under atm0/0.1

I'll try that with a fresh configuration right now. I did find, on google, someone configuring one of sprint's (who is now embarq) dsl modems as follows. It mentions encap;

DHCP= Server

alright, I tried a fresh configuration, and I attached it. I still can't ping my next hop, but both the atm interfaces are transferring packets. Here are the show interfaces:

Make sure you're pinging from the ATM interface... you don't have enough configuration for your nat to work at this point. :-)

NS

I put ip nat outside on the ATM0/0.1 interface, now what else do I have to do to configure nat?

Hi, by the example posted seems like it should be bridged, however you have many errors also:

1607 packets input, 188486 bytes, 0 no buffer

Received 0 broadcasts, 0 runts, 0 giants, 0 throttles

0 input errors, 994 CRC, 0 frame, 0 overrun, 0 ignored, 0 abort

would try another router to verify that the circuit is working first.

When you say another router, do you mean try the WIC in a different router? or try a different DSL line? or try a different WIC?

--scott

Would try a "consumer level" dsl router on the same line.
