Beginner RIPv2 Problems

[JDS_Cisco]

Hey, I'm new to networking and configuring Cisco routers. I currently have a problem which I can't solve.

I'm in Packet Tracer and I have two routers; A and B. They have a serial link between them, and each router has one PC directly connected to it using one of it's fast ethernet ports via a crossover cable.

I've set the configuration up so that all the interfaces/i.p addresses are correct and the RIP protocol has been configured and the networks set.The two routers can successfully ping each other, and each router can ping the PC that is connected to it. The problem is that a router cannot ping the PC connected to the other router.

How could I fix this? I feel like I'm missing something obvious.

Thanks in advance.

Hi

You need to add whatever subnet you are using. For your. PC to the RIP

Example

If the link between the 2 routers is 192.168.1.0/30 and the PC subnet is 10.10.10.0/24 the PC subnet needs to be added to RIP in order to be able to ping from one PC to the other

If the routers are actually configured correctly, same true for the host PCs?  Does each have an IP for the correct LAN subnet attached to the router?  Does each have a gateway IP to the router's LAN side interface?

Thanks for the replies. The problem was that although I'd configured the correct I.P. addresses and subnet masks on the PC's, I hadn't set the default gateway.

Once I'd done that everything worked fine.
