Here is the problem. I have set up a 2509RJ as a PPP dialin server. Everything seems ok, but the remote user can't get a connection to the network. Now here is the odd part, I can ping the remote computer and browse its webserver. It seems like I have a reverse firewall, where I can get in but I can't get out.
Here is the Configuration:
!

No, the remote user can't ping anything not even the router. However the router does show up in traceroute but the route ends there.
 
DNS Server is set up correctly. This would not affect pinging by IP number.
 
No, ethernet0 does not respond to ping, but I can tracert to it.
 
ip routing in turned on, but it does not show up in the config file. When I issue the "no ip routing" command that shows up in the config file, and I can no longer ping the remote user.
 
IP routing is on by default.. unless you intentionally turn it off.

The ping and traceroute are interesting.. Ping uses only ICMP as the protocol.. while traceroute uses UDP on the transmit side and ICMP on the response side.

You dont have any filters in place to block the ICMP? If traceroute ends at the router and no further, then the router doesnt have a path to the next hop(subnet).. you can always turn on debug ip icmp and then watch what happens when the ping is sent. this may provide a clue.

Post the printout from a SHO IP ROUTE and lets see if the router really knows who and what he's connected to.

Code:
Gateway of last resort is xxx.xxx.198.1 to network 0.0.0.0

     xxx.xxx.0.0/16 is variably subnetted, 2 subnets, 2 masks
C       xxx.xxx.198.114/32 is directly connected, Async1
C       xxx.xxx.198.0/24 is directly connected, Ethernet0
S*   0.0.0.0/0 [1/0] via xxx.xxx.198.1
I also turned on debug ICMP but it did not spit out any information when I sent the pings. When I ping from the router console I can see the network.
