806 router and cable modems...

I got the Cisco 806 router yesterday. I have a cable modem (non-Cisco). Having a problem getting an IP on the E1 interface. The config is Internet>cable modem>806>PC. Already went to http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/109/router_behind_cm_19268.shtml#intro , but haven't had any luck yet. When I first got the rouer out of the box, hook up everything and could ping the E0 interface, but can't now. Any suggestions?

The role of 806 router behind non-cisco cable modem is to obtain ip address dynamically (for its one of the eth port) from isp and perform NAT for the internal ip address on a privet LAN..Not to troubleshoot it, we need to know

that the ip address is obtained for eth port connected to cable modem or not..

"sh ip interface brief" will inform that..

From a PC, are you able to ping the privet ip address of the eth port??

The url that you are refering to, does have verification steps, pl. see what do we got in your case..

Hi,

Try using the built-in web-based tool, Cisco Router Web Setup to configure your router. It has a feature called Test Connection which will test your connection and fix the problem for you.

I have tried the Cisco Router Web Setup, but didn't get it working right that way. I loaded a new IOS image on it, configured the outside interface to DHCP and it got an IP. Thanks for reply.

John

I'm having the same problem, what IOS version are you using to get it to work?

I'm using 12.2(4r)XM1. I finally got it working a week ago. Now the outside interface gets an IP address ok. I erased the config and started from scratch. When I got the config how it was supposed to look I turned off the cable modem and router, then plugged the cable modem back in then the router. Works fine now.

Some ISPs bind the subscriber to the PC MAC address. A DHCP request will get a response only if it is sent from the registered MAC address. This might be to restrict the number of PCs behind the cable modem. Try setting the MAC address of 806's WAN interface to that of your PC. Of course, you should give a new MAC address to your PC.

-Ganesh.

You can also try connecting the PC directly to the cable modem, if it gets an IP address, then release it and then try it with your router...

Juan

Ok, thanks. Yeah, now I can get an IP.
