    I think I'm going completely mad, and would appreciate a fresh pair of eyes to have a look at this with me.

    I performed a couple migrations for a client involing ASA's and PIX's recently, from a ADSL line to a ADSL Max line.

    All went well apart from the Cisco 837 DSL Router they had wouldn't dial out to there ISP (BT). So I lashed in a Draytek router which worked perfectly and informed the client I would investigate and get back to them.

    So I now have the Cisco 837 Router at home, when I adjusted the config for my home settings I couldn't get it to dial out. However, when I erased the config and rebuilt it, I now have the following:

    - Authenticate with ISP and pick up a IP Address
    - Checked ISP Settings for Dialer0 and ATM
    - Show IP NAT Translations shows nat ing for ping's and websites.
    - Show IP Int Dial 0 shows correct information
    - Show Int DSL shows correct information
    - Show IP Interface Brief shows correct information

    I have my laptop on a static IP so ruling out DHCP etc, but I cannot access any websites and ping doesn't work to the outside world. Works internally from the Router to the Laptop and vice versa.

    I have changed around the DSL leads, which hasn't made a difference.

    On the following two articles it mentions that Cisco 837 do not work with ADSL Max:

    Copy of the running config, if anyone has any ideas would be appreciated (as I'm sure that I'm missing something quite obvious).

    I don't get it, it says it doesn't work with ADSL MAX yet has synced with the exchange ok and picked up an IP address...

    can you do a ping using the source IP of the ADSL interface?

    Can you also double check the default route when connected.

    I see you have the default route to be out the dialer0 int, but when you are connected and have picked up a DHCP IP address from the ISP, just do a "show ip route" and make sure it has added the default route. If it is having any funnies with the MAX (despite you picking up the DHCP address from the ISP) it may have not added the default route.

    Cheers mate, didn't even think to look at that as the show ip int brief shows the IP Address assigned.

    I shall take a look later when I get home and see what results I get.

    Just a shot in the dark... maybe the provider's got some sort of port security/MAC filtering going on... they see the new router and decide to not let traffic pass since the MAC has changed.

    Thanks for the suggestion, but I regularly configure routers at home to test and never had an issue with MAC Addresses before.

    OK, not had chance to test this as I have been building 4 new Site To Site VPN Tunnels for a Client on Cisco PIX's.

    Cheers for the suggestions so far.

    Cool... maybe it's just something that providers in the States do. For instance, if I swap my cable router at home, I've gotta call my provider and have them reset the MAC assignment on their end (or wait for the record to expire). The new router then tells the provider its MAC and I'm good to go.

    That said... I don't think the provider will even issue me a DHCP address if the aforementioned port security is going on... so you're probably right, that's not likely to be the problem. Sorry, man.

    OK this is proper gay, I changed my own router settings from automatic to manual for the PVC and MTU to confirm these where right (which they where) then I lashed in the Cisco again and it freckin worked.

    It does happen now and again but if you leave the router unplugged for 10-15mins and then plug the new one in then the router should connect ok. Think it’s more of a ARP cache issue than a security thing.
