hi i have tried the router - cisco soho97 ( 837) on an eircom broadband line using an eircom config from their eircom.net site for a cisco router as a test of the router before trying it again on a bt broadband line.

see config below, when i try and ping an internet address from the router i get the following error - from a running debug,,


" cannot place call no dialer string set"

does anyone know why i am getting this error,

i have modified the config slightly from the eircom site, you can see the eircom config here,


any help appreciated.
thanks

The config should worked I have checked it against one of
or 50 or 60 boxes.Looks like a bug to me dont have time to
check it at the moment


What you could try is

conf t
int dial 1
dialer string 1
dialer persistent

But you should note that the config you have will not allow
internet access as you do not have network address translation
setup.

are you sure the username eircom is correct. It may be ignored but our config uses are broadband account name. In the case of BT these are xyz@iolbb. Are you get DSL from BT or Eircom?

Dialer settings we used for eircom below -


interface ATM0
no ip address
no ip redirects
no ip unreachables
no ip proxy-arp
ip route-cache flow
shutdown
no atm ilmi-keepalive
pvc 8/35
encapsulation aal5snap
!
dsl operating-mode auto
!



interface Dialer1
description $FW_OUTSIDE$
ip address negotiated
ip access-group 103 in
no ip redirects
no ip unreachables
no ip proxy-arp
ip nat outside
encapsulation ppp
ip route-cache flow
dialer pool 1
dialer remote-name redback
dialer-group 1
ppp authentication pap chap callin
ppp chap hostname XXXXXXX
ppp chap password YYYYY

where XXX + YYY are username + password.
