Got ISDN, Router wont bond channels!

I am useing the NetGear RT328 Router in conjunction with a small hub, I can get one B channel to connect just fine, however the second channel dials and logs in, then drops. it will continue to do this over and over again and never hold the connection. I'm not sure what to do and it's sort of depressing not having 128K right now.

I wish i could give more information, but I don't know very much about ISDN.

What could It be? my ISP says they are setup for Multilink and It should work. both B channels allow connections by themselves, but not togeather.

Also First Gear (the netgear router configuration utilitie) doesn't detect the router, so I am using the manager port. I wish firstgear would work, but it doesn't for some reson.

ISDN is VERY difficult to troubleshoot. There's a lot of differences between different ISDN services.

It's really something they're probably going to have to come out and troubleshoot for you. If it's their equipment (or they provided it) then it's a no brainer to let them come and configure it properly.

In my past experience, though, when a modem won't hold both channels it's either because it's been configured to keep one open as an analog phone line, or because the ISP hasn't configured the account for multilink.

Any other ideas? my isp asured me that it's configured for multilink, I belive them as I have used multilink for two analog modems before. I'm thinking it must be something on my end, though I don't know what.

wrong password or wrong #. The ISP may have given you bad info.

Still no go! Has anyone an ISDN Account I could try for a minute to see if it's my ISP? People over here are really being jerks about trying a new ISP, and all it seemingly very grim.

Merphy strikes again, but hey at least I got something.
