Help with Cisco 837 router to connect to the Internet via ADSL?

| I've just got a Cisco 837 ADSL router which I'm hoping to use to connect to | the Internet via BT broadband in the UK (PPoA). I've used a guide I found | on Cisco's site to do some basic setup via the command line but have been | unable to connect; it went through the usual interface & NAT configs as | well as some ADSL stuff but at no point did I see anywhere to add my BT | broadband username, which I know need to add in order to connect to the | Internet. | | I have been able to get a ping back from the internal IP address of the | router so I thought I would be able to use the SDM to configure it, but I | can't connect to it via fiefox (I get Connection Interrupted The document | contains no data) or IE (The page cannot be displayed error) | | The Image I'm using is :c837-k9o3sy6-mz.124-12.bin | | I think this is a quite recent version so I'm a bit stuck as to how to | proceed, can anyone give me any clues as to how to connect via the web | front end or how to correctly configure my router via the command line?

See if any of this lines are present in the configuration: ip http server ip http secure-server You need this lines to be able to connect to the router via http (https).

Hi Jason,

Probably the best way to do this is to post your CURRENT Router configuration (sanitised to remove passwords, etc) and let people comment on that. Your user login/password are usually specified on a DIALER interface, however this depends totally on the method your ISP uses to authenticate the user, possibly using one of PPPoA, PPPoE or bridged. It may also pay to specify your ISP and the method they prefer (if you are aware of it).

You need to enable the HTTP Server if you want to get away from the Command line stuff, however I prefer the Command line anyway.........;-)

Cheers...............pk.
