Hy guys,
I have a question that has been bugging me for some time now
I have an CISCO router 1841 with 2 interfaces F0/1 and F0/0 and for testing purposes i have it in my LAN at home. The problem is though, in Packet Tracer I create 4 LANs all wired together with the 4 routers(1841) and i get to ping from one end to another . I configure the interfaces and all is good. However when I physically connect my 1841 router in my LAN , I cannot get past the router.
The layout is like this:
1. My TP LINK router that is directlly connected to the internet and acts as a DNS server and GATEWAY
2. The CISCO router in between the PC and the GATEWAY connected to F0/1 (192.168.1.x/24 NETWORK)
3. The PC that I use for daily tasks that is directlly connected to the F0/0 (10.90.0.X/24 NETWORK) of the router
Now, the problem I have is this:
From the PC I can ping F0/0 of the router and even F0/1 , but when I try to go beyond the router (to my GATEWAY) I get no reply back.
I have no ACL set in place on the router . The only thing I configured is the IP, MASK. I have tryed with static routes, default routes,( which I dont see the point because the router is directlly connected to both networks and should be aware of both - but I tryed that anyway) and still I get no reply back from the GATEWAY.
So my question is this
Does the 1841 router treats F0/0 as the WAN link and F0/1 as the LAN link as it is in the normal TPLINK home router and this is why the traffic cannot get past the router?
