Please bear with me all, but, i am very new to Frame-relay.
in my lab i have configured a very simple scenario to get acquainted with this

r1--------r3(frameswitch)-----------r2 with the following configs:

r1 =
interface Ethernet0
ip address 152.1.1.1 255.255.255.0
no keepalive
!
interface Serial1
ip address 193.1.1.1 255.255.255.0
encapsulation frame-relay
frame-relay lmi-type ansi
!
!
router rip
network 152.1.0.0
network 193.1.1.0
!



r3 =

frame-relay switching
!
!
!
interface Serial0
no ip address
encapsulation frame-relay
clockrate 38400
frame-relay lmi-type ansi
frame-relay intf-type dce
frame-relay route 101 interface Serial1 100
!
interface Serial1
no ip address
encapsulation frame-relay
clockrate 19200
frame-relay lmi-type ansi
frame-relay intf-type dce
frame-relay route 100 interface Serial0 101
!

r2 =
!
interface Serial1
ip address 192.1.1.1 255.255.255.0
encapsulation frame-relay
no ip mroute-cache
frame-relay lmi-type ansi
!
router rip
network 192.1.1.0
!

the sh frame-relay pvc details are as follows:

r1 =sh frame-relay pvc

why of why can't i ping, not only can't i ping the routers on either side of the frame switch, i can't even ping the active serial interfaces on r1 and r2, this is a simple config found on page 185-186 of Hutnik & Satterlee's study guide, so please could someone help me out with any ideas.
Also the show frame-relay map is perfect:

r2
Serial1 (up): ip 192.1.1.1 dlci 101(0x65,0x1850), dynamic,
broadcast,, status defined, active
r1
Serial1 (up): ip 193.1.1.1 dlci 100(0x64,0x1840), dynamic,
broadcast,, status defined, active
 
volv,
First off, your IP address for your serial intefaces are not in a common IP range. R1/S1 ip is 193.1.1.1 and R2/S1 ip is 192.1.1.1, there is no way they can ping each other using a mask of 255.255.255.0 Try configuring R1 as 193.1.1.1 and R2 as 193.1.1.2. On each router you should then be able to ping the remote router serial interface.

The book you are working off may have some typos. You will get better frame-relay senarios on the cisco site, or try Once you get this working, try configuring FR using sub-interfaces, which is the modern way of setting up FR in a production environment.

thank you so much jimmyZ i thought i was going mad.
