Obtaining an ip address automatically (cable modem)?

Hello, I am new to the forums, I've searched Cisco's site for what im looking for, and also tried to google it, after looking for a long long time, I decided to ask.

I am trying to get my Cisco 2600 Series router to do just that, route. I want to setup my cable modem on my Ethernet0/1 port, (needs to obtain IP automatically) and then setup DHCP on Ethernet0/0 (I may have figured this out, not sure).

Any help would be awesome, Im sure someone has done this before, I just maybe not looking in the right spot.

This is what I have so far.

I was able to get DHCP working for the inside network, but Its still now pulling and IP address from the cable modem.

This is what I get. Im not sure what to do besides assigning an IP address. Any ideas?

This is what that ethernet port looks like.

Mike,
Have you talked to your cable co. ?

I remember some, to keep sharing down locked the MAC address of the 1st thing that conected to it, your old PC or router - that is the only thing the modem will communicate with. They have to release it or you have to "spoof" the MAC address of the item it thinks it wants to talk to.

I would call your cable co. and ask or you can go to and see if they have a forum for your cable co - there you could get specific info on what will work with YOUR cable co.

Just more thoughts!

No, I have no problems switching devices. The Cisco Router doesnt even pick up DHCP if I was to hook it up to my linksys router.

The above comment is right....Did the config of CiscoGuy33 work??
 
Its still not picking up DHCP. I can swap the cable modem to different routers and they will each pick up DHCP from the cable modem. All I have to do is shut down the cable modem for 1-2 minutes, and it works fine.

Cisco on the other hand doesnt want to work for me.... It should, but it doesnt.. I am able to get DHCP from the router so thats a good start.. just having a problem getting it from the cable modem.

arisythila, something I noticed in your initial config display.....is there a particular reason why "no ip routing" is in there?

Just been talking to a colleague of mine and he basically outlined what CiscoGuy33 said.
He also mentioned that NAT-ing your FastEthernet0/0
and the above command will allow your LAN IP's to have access to the internet, as its currently trying to access the internet under the 10.10.10.0
 
I am new to this forum, and I am going crazy...I have a need for the same setup... put a 2621 cisco between the cable modem and the switches to get rid of the crappy old linksys box.

Here is the problem
Once in the console of the 2621;
I CAN ping I CAN ping 192.168.1.100 (a laptop on the inside network)

On the laptop;
I CAN ping anything inside my network
I CAN NOT ping
I unplugged everything only to find that dhcp has "limited connectivity", its funny though, because when i do a release/renew on the laptop it seems to work. I originally did my config EXACTLY like CiscoGuy33 put on the board, below is what i ended up with.

Anywho here is a rundown of the config

ANY HELP IS VERY VERY VERY Appriciated <---spelling?
 
Once again, I've spoken to a colleague of mine in regards to this issue and here is his conclusion;

You have half the answer already, as you have IP NAT inside already, but it seems as though you need to IP NAT outside.. (fa0/1 - I believe)

IP Nat Outside can be done by the following commands;

IP Nat Pool (Pool Name) x.x.x.x x.x.x.x
Prefix-length 24

IP Nat Inside source list 1 Pool (Pool name) overload



All the best...
