Jonn,

Chap uses an MD5 Hash password.

Try changing the username lines as you have set to clear text format level "0"

R1#

!

no username r2chap password 0 r2chap

username r2chap password  r2chap

!

end

R2#

!

no username r1chap password 0 r1chap

username r1chap password  r1chap

!

end

Regards,
Alex.

Jonn,

You need to have a common secret between both routers. Also you have misconfigured the usernames so on R1 you should have something like:

username r2chap pass cisco

int s1/0

ppp chap pass cisco

And on R2:

username r1chap pass cisco

int s1/0

ppp chap pass cisco
