Good News Everyone.  I have my Cisco router working with my ADSL2+ connection.

Well my Netgear router finally gave up the ghost… no smoke, just a few blown capacitors.  It has had a good life, it was originally bought as an ADSL1 router and firmware flashed to be ADSL2+ capable.  Well this forced me to pay a lot more attention to the Cisco router.  I worked through and created a config.  I started with a blank config, I modified and changed things as I went to be able to get each section working before moving on to the next section.  I started with get the ADSL2+ line to sync (connect) with the router.  Then I worked on the NAT and DHCP, finally I worked on the port forwarding.  I am excited to be able to use my Cisco 877 Router to connect to the Internet.

I have learnt quite a bit while working through all of the issues, I had my fair share.  Some of the commands I used are on the page Useful Commands.  I am cleaning up the config and soon hope to have a config that is suitable to post here as a guide to those that may need it.

RIP: Netgear DG632, Thank you for all the ones and zeros.
