Hello,
I get to the internet through a versalink 7500 (Westell) dsl modem. It has 4 cat5 ports and the dsl uplink port. It hands out dhcp addresses in the 192.168.1.15-50 range to any inside computer. The modem's address is 192.168.1.1.
I have a FREESCO firewall/router with 3 ports. It's 3 port addresses are,
Port1=192.168.1.2, Port2=10.10.8.2, Port3=172.168.8.2. Port 1 is connected to a port on the dsl modem and port 2 is connected to a switch that has my home lab computers connected. All of my computers have a 10.10.8.x address and can get to the internet with no problems.
Last weekend I got out my 2 port 2611 router and gave port 0 192.168.1.4 and port 1 172.16.1.4. I plugged port 0 into a switch and plugged the switch into the dsl modem. The switch also has 1 computer with address 192.168.1.5 connected to it. I gave a laptop 172.16.1.5 address and plugged it into port 1 on the router. The router can ping the computers on each port, the dsl modem and The computer with the 192.168.1.5 address can also ping everything on the inside network and internet. But the computer with the 172.16.1.5 address can only ping computers on both router interfaces and the dsl modem. It can't ping internet sites or internet addresses. I removed the 2611 router and replaced it with a 2514. I setup the 2514 with the same addresses and got the same result. A computer on the 172 side can reach internal computers and the dsl modem but not the internet. I cleared the config on both routers but nothing worked.
The only reason I plugged in the cisco routers was to make a quick test for something I planned on doing at work, and have no intention of removing my FRESSCO since everything works fine the way it is. But I have spent 2 days searching the internet for a reason why I couldn't get the ciscos to work and haven't found anything. Any ideas?
Thanks
