Cannot successfully setup static routes so devices can ping each other

[jahedhussein]

In my diagram on packet tracer, I have 3 routers. I have connected all 3 routers together so I now need to setup static routes so that a PC on one of the subnets can successfully ping another PC from a different subnet. 

For example, PC1 in subnet A has:

AND I want it to ping PC2 in subnet B which has:

however, I cannot do this as I am struggling to setup the static routes.

I managed to connect the routers to one another but I cannot get my head around the static routes. Any help would be appreciate as I need to have it completed very very soon.

Hello,

post the zipped Packet Tracer project (.pkt) file.

[jahedhussein]

There, hope the IP's aren't cleared

Hello
Basic example of static routing
PC A = 133.221.192.16/25
PC B = 133.221.193.16/25

R1
int x/x
description connecting to pc A
ip address 133.221.192.99 255.255.255.128

int x/x
description connecting to R2
ip address 10.1.12.1 255.255.255.252

ip route 133.221.193.0 255.255.255.128 10.1.12.2

R2
int x/x
description connecting to R1
ip address 10.1.12.2 255.255.255.252

int x/x
description connecting to R3
ip address 10.1.23.2 255.255.255.252

ip route 133.221.192.0 255.255.255.128 10.1.12.1
ip route 133.221.193.0 255.255.255.128 10.1.23.1

R3
int x/x
description connecting to pc B
ip address 133.221.193.99 255.255.255.128

int x/x
description connecting to R2
ip address 10.1.23.1 255.255.255.252

ip route 133.221.192.0 255.255.255.128 10.1.23.2

Thank you for your response Paul, I appreciate it. 

I was told to stay away from the CLI for now but I think I get it.

So if I wanted PC1 from subnet A to communicate with PC2 from subnet B from subnet A router my static route would look like this 

[Georg Pauwen]

Hello,

the LAN IP addresses in subnet A and subnet B are overlapping, they share the same address space. What are the requirements of your project ? Are you supposed to use NAT ? What addressing are you supposed to use ?

[jahedhussein]

I was told to develop a suitable fixed-length subnet mask IP addressing scheme and assign subnet and host addresses for the PC's.

The three subnets would need to be connected via point-to-point WAN links. I should make my IP design on the domain IP address 133.221.192.0.

[Georg Pauwen]

Hello.

I changed the LAN IP address of the Aberdeen router, and added all static routes to all routers. Just make sure that the subnets on either side of the network don't overlap.

Attached the revised file (you need Packet Tracer version 8.1 in order to be able to open the file).

[jahedhussein]

Hi Georg. 

I can't open the file as I have the 8.0.1 version as my institution has not updated our versions. Is there any other way I can open it?

Edit: I updated

[Georg Pauwen]

Hello,

can you open the file ?

[jahedhussein]

Hi Georg.

Thank you for the revision. Yes, I can open the file but I cannot seem to figure out how to get the PC's to ping each other.

[Georg Pauwen]

Hello,

try and ping PC0 in the 'Workgroups' LAN from PC1 in the 'Building1' group.

133.221.192.16 to 133.221.192.194

Does that work ?

[jahedhussein]

Hello Georg, 

No it does not seem to work. I am getting "Request timed out".

[Georg Pauwen]

Odd, as I have the same file opened that I sent to you, and I can ping successfully. Make sure all PCs are set to DHCP (not static IP addressing), as I have configured the Edinburgh and Aberdeen routers to function as DHCP server.

Here are the router configs, just in case they were not saved correctly.

I am not sure why I cannot ping the other PCs from the other subnets. I put PC1 on DHCP but I still cannot ping the other PC from Aberdeen or Glasgow

Edit: I reloaded it, and it finally pings!  Could I ask why you changed the IP configuration to DHCP?
