Phil, I was thinking that might be the issue and once I assigned an ip it worked and now I can ping. I was testing from a source interface that was up with an ip and wasn't getting replies but that's because it was sending replies to the helper interface.
Thanks for pointing that out to me. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Phil Davis Sent: Friday, September 05, 2008 3:05 PM To: cisco-nsp@puck.nether.net Subject: Re: [c-nsp] can't ping from router Hello, Paul A wrote: > Hi, I have a 7200 terminating some pppoe customers using BBA-GROUP. > Everything is working and has been working without any issues.

If you put an address on Loopback0, pings will work.
