Cisco 871w cannot ping outside WAN

CoryParsnipson

Level 1

Hello, I have a cisco 871w router that I'm trying to incorporate into an existing network. I have FastEthernet4 (WAN port) plugged into an ISP device, which I don't have access to. I have the address set to use dhcp, which is successfully recognized and I see that the interface gets a valid ip address that I can ping with other computers on the same network.

Problems:

I am logged into the router via the serial port and I cannot ping websites on the internet. I am able to ping sites that are hosted inside the WAN, but when I try "google.com" for instance, I see it sending out packets, but none are received. It resolves the hostname from the local DNS server, but there are no packets received.

Configuration:

I'm really new at this, so I was wondering if you guys could take a look at the commands that I type into the console to set up the router. I'm missing a lot of stuff. This is what I've been able to piece together using google and the software manuals:

enable

config t

hostname [hostname]

interface FastEthernet 4

ip address dhcp

ip nat outside

no shutdown

interface loopback 0

ip address 192.168.0.1 255.255.255.248

no shutdown

interface Vlan 1

ip dhcp pool vlan1

network 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0

domain-name [domain]

default-router 192.168.0.1

dns-server 10.195.57.1

ip address 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0

ip helper-address 10.195.57.2

ip virtual-reassembly

ip nat inside

no shutdown

interface FastEthernet 0

switchport access vlan 1

no shutdown

interface FastEthernet 1

switchport access vlan 1

no shutdown

interface FastEthernet 2

switchport access vlan 1

no shutdown

interface FastEthernet 3

switchport access vlan 1

no shutdown

interface FastEthernet 4

switchport access vlan 1

no shutdown

ip nat inside source list 100 interface FastEthernet4 overload

access-list 100 permit ip 192.168.1.1 0.0.0.255 any

Thank you very much for your help!

Ok. I took out those lines and added the LAN dhcp pool stuff. I'm seeing the same behavior, however. I can still use my laptop to browse the internet, though.

1. I am able to ping this server. I get 100% success.

2. I'm not really in a position to do this... I just took an ethernet cable meant for a client machine and hooked it up to my router...

Thanks!

EDIT: Worrr, hang on. I tried pinging "google.com" from another computer that I know works perfectly. It experiences timeout as well. I think the network might be blocking ICMP traffic.

Well, I guess I'm satisfied and I can consider everything to be working fine... Thank you very much for your help!

Here is my final config:

enable
