Ok, here is my complete config for a host that is currently working fine, single or dual. It is a 1605R router using 2 ethernet adapters and networks, but that shouldn't matter... Besides the multiple "username" statements, I pretty much used Cisco's autoconfig to do this. One quirk that I hadn't noticed which I normally wouldn't do is that the "hostname" is the login ID and the ENABLEPASSWORD is the same as the LOGINPASSWORD. You should be able to eliminate this with another "username" prompt if you care enough... All I know is that Cisco's PAP/CHAP scheme is broken enough that if I have something working, I don't touch it... Took me over a year (admittedly I didn't press it) with Cisco's TAC trying to get a working config to finally have a local Cisco Guru to trace down the PAP/CHAP stuff and tell me to use the various username prompts... Maybe if enough of you guys complain to Cisco they'll fix it? They acted like they didn't have a problem with anyone elses equipment, but I've only had trouble with theirs. The ascend stuff works great with everyone else... We have a bunch of older P50's (won't use the newest OS's) that we're able to sell our clients for $250 (if anyone out there wants one for $150, write me) and they never have problems with them...
