We have two 3825s, and I'm struggling to get them to talk to each
other. Interface GigabitEthernet0/0/0 (A HWIC-1GE-SFP with a
1000Base-T SFP) on each router is connected to the other with a
tested straight cable - changing it to crossover makes no
difference.

router1:
interface GigabitEthernet0/0/0
description Connection to router2
ip address 10.0.0.1 255.255.255.252
negotiation auto

router2:
interface GigabitEthernet0/0/0
description Connection to router1
ip address 10.0.0.2 255.255.255.252
negotiation auto

And a bit of output showing the line is up:

router1#show ip interface brief | include 0/0/0
GigabitEthernet0/0/0 10.0.0.1 YES manual up
down

router2#show ip interface brief | include 0/0/0
GigabitEthernet0/0/0 10.0.0.2 YES manual up
down

Now the problem - neither router can ping each other, and even though
I
believe these should show up as connected routes, they do not:

router2#show ip route | include 10.0.0
router2#

router1#show ip route | include 10.0.0
router1#

Can anyone let me know if there's anything else I can provide that
will help, or ideally tell me what I'm doing wrong?

First, I think you need a crossover (unless its a switch module in the
router). Second, have you tried hard-setting the speed/duplex?

As above, I've tried both a crossover and a straight cable. The
interfaces should be able to do Auto MDIX so work with a straight
cable.

The speed/duplex can't be hard set on the HWIC-1GE-SFP - both are set
to negotiation auto by requirement.

add 'media-type rj45' to the interface configs.

I'm afraid not; that's another command that's not available on this
interface.

Thanks for your suggestions! Keep 'em coming!
