Hey guys, working on a project at the moment and please excuse me as im quite new and just learning.
Im having a problem where only every second packet gets through from one side of a serial router connection to another. See on the image, I am unable to reliably ping from PC0 or PC1 to the webserver or the troubleshooting PC. The webservers website can be accessed fine from the PCs however when pinging only 50% get through.
My tablets have the same ping issue however also cant access the website. Giving me the error, Server Reset Connection.
I have set up NAT translation between the ISP and Client router and have the hop addresses set on the ISP router back to the client and the client to the ISP and wireless home router.
Any help is greatly appreciated :D

Hi,
I think you had defined to default route on the router and it is making an issue for you. As you describe, the router is working fine and it is load balancing between two connections. I am not sure that you could change the load balancing algorithm on the PT or not.
Try with below configuration:
1. Delete all existing router for serial port 0/1/0 and F0/0
2. Add below routes:
ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 172.16.4.1
ip route 172.16.4.X Y.Y.Y.Y 172.16.4.130
Here X is the Network ID of MIK wireless router LAN Subnet. Y is the subnet mask of the MIK wireless router. But it is not required because it is 1 hope away and you had configured NAT on the wireless router.

Hi @haydo124,
Could you compress your exercise (winzip) and attach it to check your configurations?

Hello
Is this a Packet tracer lab is so please post the PT file.

The original post describes the issue as being every other packet in the ping fails. The most common cause of this behavior is that the router has 2 routes for the destination and is using both of them (which would be the case for a ping done from the router). One of the routes works and ping sent over this one gets a response, but the second route does not work and pings sent over this one will fail. We do not have enough information yet to know if this is the case but my guess is that this is the issue.
