Re: OT:--CISCO EXPERTS...

Hi Stuart these were provided by BT ( British Telecom)... Sales told us one
thing and engineers another...

Have two sites 5 miles apart now connected with 2MB private circuit.

I asked sales I want to connect two sites just to connect both lans ( 60 pcs
at both sites)... sales and their engineers set up link, CWSS termination
boxes and Cisco routers connected to these with X21 cable. Told all worked
as they tested.

We go to use it and nothing, link went down. Technical engineer visited,
fixed exchange problem but then said cisco routers not configured, nothin in
them and password blank. Ethernet ports were even closed.

Sales said site been configured we just have to plug our lans in and will
communicate....

Any how there is another story here that is going to be addressed but link
is needed at mo.

Site 1 has SBS on 192.168.16.x , Site2 has (wait for it), 100.100.100.x..
Site is to be totally reinstalled but for now the link is needed.

I have a pc at site1 connected to domain with nic1 192 etc and another nic
100 etc. initially 2 users at site 2 need to access a prog on site1 running
on pc. But end of the week 6 users need to access site2 down this link.

BT technical engineer did put in 100.100.100.53 on site2 router and
100.100.100.26 on site1 and says now need to bridge the 2 cisco but he cant
do as no support for it and he would get into trouble just opening ethernet
and putting IPs in.

Really appreciate support, I see posting email shows UK, anywhere near
Essex...lol

You mention steep learning curve but if I can just get ino router maybe can
work it out.

Downloaded a sdm program from Cisco but couldn't connect as all boxes need
to be filled out to connect, IP, username and password but it dont have a
password.
