This was the right answer.. Solved

im surprised you can ping without attaching a crossover cable.

because if your only using your console port to connect your pc...then you dont have ip connectivity

i think the cable your using to connect your pc to your router fa port is a straight through ethernet cable....

you see it attaches to a switch port in the back of your home router(not cisco router)

not a router port.

so you need a different cable depending on how you want to connect to your router.

you can check to see if it is a crossover cable

just peer down the end of the cable you can see the colours...

if they are in the same order on each end...then it is a straight through cable

if they have a different order...then it is a crossover cable

if your connecting to your pc via your home router.

then yes.....you need to plug a straight through cable into your cisco router from your home router

and it will work

if your connecting your pc directly to your router

then you need to use  a crossover cable from the back of your pc...to your cisco router.

and it will work
