Question : Cisco 831 Configuration

Hey, I got a cisco 831 from a friend for free and erased his config. Now,  the E1 interface for the internet can see the internet or my other router and pings are successful. My Fastethernet 1 interface can see my computer and pings are successful. My problem and question is that my computer cannot see the internet.  what are the simple, basic configurations to allow the internet to go through the cisco 831 to the computer and vice versa??

Thanks

Answer : Cisco 831 Configuration

Hey Drunkinbda,

I think I found your problem... the GatewayRouter is only aware of the DIRECTLY-CONNECTED networks which are:
1) The Internet
2) The 192.168.1.0/24 network

It has NO IDEA how to reach the 10.10.10.0/24 network since it's not directly connected.  Therefore, you need to add a route on it.

The route should be something like this:
route 10.10.10.0 mask 255.255.255.0 192.168.1.100

It basically tells the GatewayRouter that any traffic it receives that has a destination of 10.10.10.0/24 should be forwarded to 192.168.1.100 which is your 831.  From there, the 831 takes over.

Please try that and let me know.
