Mak,

Thanks for you response. The reason I was using dhcp instead of the static address we requested was that the subnet mask they claim I need to use is 255.255.255.255 but the router won't accept it. So I thought I would tackle the auth problem first then the mask problem. The interesting thing is that a Linksys BEFSR11 will get an address ok but the 2610 fails. As soon as I brought this up with the ISP they said then it not our problem. If I could find a way determining the mask if it in fact is not 255.255.255.255 then I could go the static route since it appears that the auth is working.

Thanks

Lars

In IPCP negotation we do not negotiate the address subnet mask....I am not very clear with what the ISP is telling you, can you try out the following:

conf term

interface loopback10

ip address x.x.x.x 255.255.255.255 (where x.x.x.x is the static IP address given by the ISP)

int dialer 1

ip unnumbered loopback10

Capture debug ppp nego with these commands added.

Thanks, Mak.

Mak,

Here is the debug and the relevant parts of the config.

Lars

We see the same point of failure here....if the ISP is looking for a static address, we are sending it but still get a TERMREQ from their end during IPCP phase.

Just curious, I see different username sent & configured under the dialer1.

Thanks, Mak.

Mak,

I just changed it for posting. I am still using the same username and password. I will try the ISP again tomorrow and see how far I get.

Thanks again

Lars
