[c-nsp] can't ping from router

[Paul A]

Phil, I was thinking that might be the issue and once I assigned an ip it
worked and now I can ping. I was testing from a source interface that was up
with an ip and wasn't getting replies but that's because it was sending
replies to the helper interface.

Thanks for pointing that out to me.

You've defined a helper interface for the Virtual-Template, but that 
interface does not have an IP address, so it's trying to send pings from 
an unnumbered address. If you put an address on Loopback0, pings will work.
