I think I found what the problem was. In a Client-server configuration, GNS3 has problem with serial connection when the two routers are not on the same computer.
Attached are the 3 .net files I used: only one of them works fine because I put all serial links on the same computer. Patrice Ngassam CEO NEN NET Inc.

I will try what Criatian has recommended this evening and let you know the outcome Regards, Patrice Ngassam CEO NEN NET Inc.

Move your mouse over serial link in GNS workplace and see if it show you the same link like the one you configured. GNS has some weird bugs and should take into account that sometimes can be that and not your configs. Change your serial module and see if it works On Fri, May 14, 2010 at 11:15 AM, Patrice Ngassam <[email protected]> wrote: Hi folks, I've been tried to work on VOL2 Lab1 using GNS3 for a couple of days. I am having serious trouble with Serial interfaces. To keep it short, R2 is connected to R5 using S0/1 and vice-versa, no matter what I try the line protocol on that serial interface is always down. My original config on R2 and R5: R2 ---- username R5R2 password brayden ! interface Serial0/1 description R5 s0/1 ip address 150.50.9.2 255.255.255.192 encapsulation ppp clock rate 2000000 ppp reliable-link ppp authentication pap ppp pap sent-username R2R5 password 0 brayden !
