cisco 837 configuration

Hi I have a cisco 837 adsl router. My internet connection is with Pipex and I have a dynamic IP. I have configured it in as far as all my hosts can comunicate with each other and the router through ping tests on my LAN. But I cannot connect to the internet! Please help! Ping tests to external IP addresses and external hostnames fail!!!

My configuration is below. My ISP uses PPPOA. Please tell me what I am doing wrong!!

Thanks

Barry

Are you receiving an IP address from your ISP?  Do a "show ip int brief" and see if dialer0 has an IP from your ISP.

Can you ping external websites from the router?

Hi Guys,

Thanks for your helpful comments. I tried using the web browser interface but I just keep on getting the message contacting router. And it doesn't progress any further. My entire config has been posted! If I am missing some commands could you possibly tell me what they are so I can configure it from the command line???

I will try the show ip int brief command. But anyone if anyone has a working example, I would appreciate it if they could post it up. Or any other useful comments would be appreciated

Cheers

Barry
