877w dsl wont sync at full speed trying bridge mode

RaymondT

We recently had eircom round to fit a new demarcation point since then my 877w wont sync at the full speed and im getting an increase of crc errors on show dsl int atm 0.

For a while I just connected the eircom router to fa0 and made a static route to this but now I need to publish services and a VPN and id like to keep things as simple as possible with single NAT so im trying bridge mode with the sample configs I found online.

I cant for the life of me get this to work, On the Netopia 2247 ive set RFC-1483 Bridged Ethernet LLC/SNAP and bridging on.

Ive connected the FA0 interfaces of both routers

On ios ive erased nvram and added

vpdn enable

interface fa0
pppoe-client dial-pool-number 1


interface fa1
sw access vlan 11

int vlan 11
ip address 10.0.1.1 255.255.255.0
ip nat inside
ip virtual-reassembly

interface dialer1
ip address negotiated
ip mtu 1492
ip nat outside
ip virtual-reassembly
encapsulation ppp
ip tcp adjust-mss 1452
dialer pool 1
dialer-group 1
ppp authentication chap callin
ppp chap hostname eircom
ppp chap password 0 broadband1
ppp ipcp dns request
ppp ipcp address accept
ppp ipcp route default

ip nat inside source list 1 interface Dialer1 overload
ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 Dialer1

access-list 1 permit 10.0.1.0 0.0.0.255
dialer-list 1 protocol ip permit

And... Nothing absolutely nothing my pings just time out and show ip int br shows the dialer has no ip address.

Can anyone suggest what Im missing, configuration professional doesn't seem to have any wizard to setup this connection

None of the examples bothered to mention if you are using a device with a layer 2 switch like the 877w you need to run pppoe enable and pppoe-client dial-pool-number 1 on the vlan not fa0

bloody thing disconnected me there were so much debug messages when it finally started lol
