two numbers on one pair. going to a cisco 800 router with 10 base-t lan connection.

martin

Sure give me a call and I'll try to figure it out over the phone for you. (888)400-4131

Martin I'm not sure what you are trying to setup but if you are just setting up a small LAN to access the internet with the Cisco router as the gateway then:
Make sure you have all your settings correct in the router (IP addresses, DNS Servers, Gateway, ect) and does the ISDN connect? If it connects can the XP machine Ping the router? If so then can the XP machine ping www.yahoo.com (66.218.71.81). If you can not communicate from the XP machine to the router then it is a setup issue with the router or XP machine. Please e-mail me with any specifics and we can try to get the issue solved.

thanks for the replies guys. this sure is a great list. what was blowing my mind was it was a move the config was working when i took
it out of the orig loc. after some research,
i found out the reseller changed numbers on me in order to increase his bottom line. he was supposed to move the same numbers. but to save money(or so he says). they had new numbers installed, i contacted the guy who installed the router and he walked me thru
putting in the new numbers. thanks again

Martin, it appears your going to get plenty of help on this. Crabb had a very good question for you in asking if this was for internet access. The fact that you have an XP machine is not relevant. The cisco programs through your browser. I personally use 3-com for simple internet to network integration. way cheaper! You need both SPID numbers, you need the dial-up number for your internet provider presuming the provider supports ISDN, username and password from your provider, primary and secondary DNS. If the cisco is smart, it will detect the type of switch (co), If not you'll have to get that info. If this is a simple network leave DHCP enabled on the cisco and leave NAT enabled. Reboot everything and log on. It really is easier that you think. Remember you're a phoneman and we can do everything! Right Guys?
