How is RouterA suppose to know how to get to 192.68.1.1 (The return packets)? Do you think BGP is going to do that for you? Try "sh ip bgp neigh 172.16.20.1 adv" on Router B..............does it show its advertising 192.68.1.1? Probably not. You should add a network statment so that it gets advertised. Also your mask on RouterA is 255.255.255.0 for the loopback (do you really need to bind an entire /24 to loopback)? On routerB its just a /32...........stick with /32's or non-overlapping networks imho Brian > > > ___________________________________ > UPDATED Posting Guidelines: http://www.groupstudy.com/list/guide.html > FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: http://www.groupstudy.com > Report misconduct and Nondisclosure violations to [EMAIL PROTECTED] > ----------------------------------------------- Brian Feeny, CCNA, CCDA [EMAIL PROTECTED] Network Administrator ShreveNet Inc.
