SYMPTOMS
========

When you ping your Cisco ISDN router, or hosts on the other side of this router,
you may receive the following error message:

  Request timed out.

This issue may occur from many different client types and may seem to move from
one client to another.


CAUSE
=====

The licensing package on your Cisco router may not be configured correctly to
accept the number of users that are on your network.

RESOLUTION
==========

Contact Cisco Systems for information about their licensing packages and how to
configure them properly for your network.
