netopia DSL router and Cisco 2600

[Gungaden]

We have a DSL connection via a Netopia 3546. It then goes to a Linksys router with SPI turned on. We want to replace the Linksys with a Cisco 2600 using ACLs and NAT for multiple networks. The 2600 is in place but you can't ping past the inside Netopia address. Everything works fine through the Linksys.

Any ideas? Is it a command on the Netopia or the 2600 I'm missing? I have a default route in the 2600 and turned RIP on because the Netopia has RIP v1 on. The Netopia only had RIP on the send side but not the receive side.

Thanks!

GeneralDzur,
Thank you for asking. I figured out the problem with the help of my CCNA instructor. Turns out that the common practice of setting up a default gateway to point to a interface doesn't always work. In this case we changed the default gateway to be the IP on the other end of the link (Netopia) and everything works fine. Example for those that may see this later.

ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 Ethernet1/3

ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 69.228.67.xx

This is all due to the way the Netopia handles incoming traffic through it's 4 switch ports before going out the WAN port.
