Help with 837 Config.

[txcowboy99]

I have a Cisco 837 (brand new) I am trying to set it up via the CRWS but all it does is just sit there tell me that it is 'Checking the Model, the IOS and the Features' and that's it! It doesn't go any further. I've tried it with IE and Firefox and left it for many hours, but still no change.

Where do i go from here? Many thanks.

Paddy's suggestion is effective in situations where the external IP is static and known. If it is dynamic then you would need to change the host and specify some subnet. The question then becomes what subnet to use in the access list? Perhaps your provider can tell you what is the beginning and ending of the pool from which it assigns addresses. If the provider can not (or does not) tell you that, then if you watch what addresses are assigned (over some period of time) you can approximate what range of addresses to put into the access list.

If i am thinking about this correctly. I would think that you could safely use:

permit icmp any any

I dont think the destination address really matters if you only have 1 ip address. There is no way for the router to know your inside address because you are nat'ing. You probably have only 1 address on the outside interface that is public. So you can make the destination addresse any address you want.

This wouldnt work so well if you have a block of addresses routed to it, but since you are using dhcp you can use the "any" command for your destination.

If i am mistaken, please correct me.
