Help with setup of a Cisco Router 857w with Sky

[gorebrush]

Are you on Sky LLU?

I have a feeling that the 857W is ADSL1 and not ADSL2.

I'm sure that was why I went out and got a Cisco 877 - as that IS ADSL2...

I have both routers at home.

From CISCO site
Q. Do the platforms support ADSL2/2+?
A. The Cisco 857, 876, 877 and 877M routers support ADSL2/2+ standards

There we go then, thanks for clarifying.

Suppose I could flog my 877 then

Hi thanks for you reply.
What is LLU?
How do I find out if what I have is ADSL1 or ADSL2?

If the 857W can do both, what do you think im doing wrong on the config?

Thanks again.

There is a chance that PPPoA is switched off on your connection, if it has not have a look at this, it should get you on line.
Cisco 857 Simple Config

I found this config online, it was one of the first ones that I've tried. No luck there.

Im guessing with it being Cisco gear you woudl want more than £50,

I need to find me a decent ADSL modem to sit infront of my ASA 5505, I am currently double Natted behind a sky DG824g V3, And cannot figure for the life of me how to enable bridge mode so that the public IP goes direct to the ASA. I even tried to get it to do bridge mode with an apple airport as I figure there is less config that can go wrong and still cant work it out.


Internet -----------Sky Router ---------------ASA5505---------------LAN
Internet --------Outside----Inside-------Outside---------Inside--------subnet
--------------Public IP-------10.0.0.1-----10.0.0.3--------192.168.1.2----192.168.1.0/24

ALLLLLLLL#
Im so happy, i cracked it.
ALl my configurations that I have tried before, were pretty much right.
Guess what was wrong?
IOS image.
Not sure if the image was corrupted or anything like that, but it was quite a new one.
After upgrading to a newer version, it worked fine

Happy days,

thanks all for the help
