Cannot ping IP on my other network

[Mike Hagans]

Hello,

I'm new to the forums I'm using Cisco Packet Tracer and I have two networks. 192.168.1.0 and 192.168.2.0 networks...

I have a routers with two fast ethernet ports each connected to a switch obvisouly creating my two networks. the problem I have is

I cannot ping a pc on the .2 network from the .1 network. I CAN ping the router/default gateway which I have configured as 192.168.1.1...

Any assistance on why the packet is not making it to the other pc would be great. Thanks

This is a pretty simple setup. The only things I would think it could be are 1) Improperly configured default gateway on one of the clients or 2) IP routing not turned on on the router.

I have not enabled IP Routing on the router.

Sorry, what command is that?

What type of router is that?

The routers usually have ip routing enabled by default.

try it anyway:

config t

ip routing

and test again

It's an 1841. I tried the command and get an error... "Invalid input detected..."

It's running IOS 12.3 if that helps. thanks again.

Ok. For some reason when I set the clients to DHCP, the default gateway was set at 0.0.0.0.

So, that was it. Thanks for your help everyone. Now I need to figure out why the default gateway did not fill in.

I have it correct on the DHCP server..
