Packet Tracer Course Lab 2.1.1.5 Unable to ping cisco.com

[SaltyWarrant1798]

I saw an older discussion about this lab where certain aspects of the lab were discussed like choosing the correct router and the like. I created my simple network exactly to specifications, then fixed the router issue previously noted. Now, I can't ping cisco.com as the final task.

I'd like to do the second lab (PDUs) with a working network and would appreciate it if someone could take a look at my network and tell me why I can't ping the server.

Thank you.

you forgot to attach file but yes, several issues with the same lab were posted here;  so far I saw following issues : wrong IP address or no IP at all due to dhcp failure, wrong cable link selected or wrong port on router, dns is missing, dhcp is not set up,

Real-world TS steps (good for lab as well): Ping 127.0.0.1, ping your own IP, ping your default gateway, ping/trace destination IP, ping/trace by host name. clear dns cache, flap link/port.

Martin, it won't let me attach the .pkt file of my network.

Martin, I uploaded it as a zip. I look forward to your (or anyone's) response. Thanks!

Cable Cloud has wrong port settings or wrong port.  Move mouse over the cloud to see what port id is connected to server.  it could be Fa 5 or Fa 6, then click on cloud , Config settings, go to cable settings and make sure that Coax port is matching to correct and connected port either Fa5 or Fa6.   you can change from to port in there or remove cable and manually connect cable to correct port.

Then on Wireless router, refresh global IP address or save and restart pt file
