I have two 2501 routers connected back to back via DCE/DTE cable. On both routers the serial line is up and the line protocol is up. I have the clock rate set on the DCE side, and I still cannot ping between the two routers. If I change the encapsulation from HDLC to PPP I can ping, but when I add in another router configure it and configure a routing protocol I still cannot ping. I have done this over and over again and I am stuck. Below is the configuration for the two back to back routers.
