Hey Simon,
I am always extremely frustrated when I spend hours bringing to bear all of
my years of experience and education against a problem that is ultimately
solved with a lowly reboot. The thought that it could happen at the expense
of a lab fee, flight, a few hotel nights, and considerable ego is
frightening indeed!
And put down those cigarettes man!!
Cheers,
Scott

Exactly.
Spent a good hour or so going over, debugging. Couldn't suss it out.
Gave in and checked the solution, yep, all okay, spent another 20
minutes double checking.
In the end decided to have a cigarette, rebooted the routers and hay
presto.
Maybe something to bear in mind should something similar happen in the
lab.
A 5 minute reboot is damn sight quicker than spending and hour going
over your work.

I'm not sure if i got the issue right, but it sounds like the link is
FR, and the task required bridging over FR. Apparently he did the
configs, and couldn't get reachability across the link until after
rebooting the routers.

So there I am for the last hour trying to get two routers connected via
frame relay and both have Ethernets.
Task states, create a brideged interface and get everything up and
running.
No problems I think, could I get it to work, could I eck.
Last chance, have a cig and re-boot the routers, hey presto
I think if I'd be in the lab now I would have broken down
