Ummm...maybe because your other router(s) aren't connected to or have no route back to the Access Router's s1 interface? And if they're supposed to be connected via the e0 interface, you'll have to configure and 'no shut' it... What's the error message when you do try to telnet to 192.168.1.1 or 10.1.1.1 from one of your other routers to the Access Router? Destination host unreachable? (by the way, you've essentially used the entire 10.x.x.x network on your S1 interface by virtue of using a 255.0.0.0 mask) The reason you can 'telnet' to your other routers is because you're establishing a reverse-telnet connection (by using the ip host configuration commands) via the async lines on the Access Server to the console or AUX port of your other routers - unfortunately, that principle doesn't work in reverse. Suggestion: start from the basics. Termserver configuration can wait - you really need to work on basic configuration (point-to-point) starting with subnet masking from a direct console connection. Maybe begin with putting your PC on the same Ethernet as your termserver e0, configuring your e0 with a subnet on the 10.x.x.x network (hint: use a consistent subnet mask like 255.255.255.0 that will allow you more than one subnet - you might have to remove the IP address from s1 first) ed on the same subnet, and telnetting from PC to Ethernet. Then, move on to a direct serial connection from the termserver to another router, keeping in mind that unless you have two CSU's back-to-back, you'll have to configure the serial interface on the router with the DCE cable with a clockrate statement... ...that ought to keep you busy for a day or so... :-) -e- ----- Original Message ----- From: "jimmy halbert" To: Sent: Friday, June 08, 2001 11:43 AM Subject: telnet configuration [7:7779] > Hello Guys / Ladies, > I am having problems getting my lab telnet configuration up and going.
