Hey Peeps,

I need some help configuring a CISCO ADSL router, I used to have an annoying netgear that wouldnt stop dropping out so i got this Cisco as it was recommended by a friend.

But its hard for me to config, I am able to TELNET to it using the console cable and can see all the options etc etc, but im not sure how to set it up to work with my ADSL from Cerberus (8M down 832K up 20:1).

Can some one please help me with how to configure it?

Rather daft to get a Cisco router if you have no understanding of the IOS, however getting you a basic config working shouldn't be "too" hard.

Can you get a dump of your current running config ("sh run" command)? (star out enable password ;))
 
Well, you haven't posted back, I can only assume that you have it working now :)

Just in case:

Code: 
interface ATM0
 no ip address
 no ip mroute-cache
 atm ilmi-keepalive
 pvc 0/38 
  encapsulation aal5mux ppp dialer
  dialer pool-member 1
 !
 dsl operating-mode auto 
!
interface FastEthernet0
!
interface Dialer1
 ip address negotiated
 ip nat outside
 ip virtual-reassembly
 encapsulation ppp
 ip route-cache flow
 dialer pool 1
 dialer-group 1
 no cdp enable
 ppp authentication chap callin
 ppp chap hostname <ppp username>
 ppp chap password 0 <ppp password>
!
interface Dialer0
 no ip address
!
 
Probably worth mentioning that you can download SDM for Cisco routers, which is a GUI based interface. If you are a total beginner, that's where to start. Make sure you check the commands it has entered so that you can begin to grasp CLI, it is very useful ;)
 
If you are a total beginner I would recomend you use SDM-Express as it would allow you to configure the basic functions of the router very quickly, the full version of SDM is a bit more involved again, but it is still much easier than using the CLI :)
 
sorry guys I went away for a bit!

Ok The router i was given so not like i paid for it! I have noticed something rather odd about the router though, it would seem each time i go through the initial setup of the basics (IP Address etc etc) do a simple reboot its fine, but after switching it off then abck on the process needs to be done all over again!

I will ofcourse try the SDM though, thanks for the info.
