2524 connected to cox cable modem

[Richy]

I am trying to setup two 2524s with a wan from cox cable just to test. I can get the 2524 closest to the cox connection to work fine, but when i connect the next one on the lan side, i cant ping the cox gateway. I can ping the 1st routers wan int, which is the ip given by cox and on the same subnet as the cox gateway. If i create a default route on the first router to push all requests through the cox gateway why doesnt the routing table understand to send it through the cox gateway when i ping from the second router?

This could be because the first router does just this but does not no the route back to deliver the requested.

i.o.w. check the route table of the router to the cable modem if it has a route for your client.
