help with a project ASAP please

[Adnan-ciscoooo]

Hello,

I'm looking for any assistance with my project in Packet Tracer. I have an assigned project that involves implementing things I learn each week in class into it within packet tracer. I'm doing the lab exercises weekly. I can complete those for the most part with a little googling, but when it comes to the ability to implement the concepts into my project, I am completely lost (Because I'm memorizing rather than doing). I'm spending hours on this every week which I don't think is the point. I have nowhere else to go for help at this point. No tutoring option and my schedule makes me unable to commit to a teacher meeting. I am sure people would look at this and think I'm an idiot, and maybe I am with this networking stuff. It's just not clicking with me at all and I've tried really hard for weeks and just can't.

Here's what I need help with:

DHCP servers not working and getting APIPA (PC1). 

Inter-VLAN routing setup on routers. 

Can't accessthe server IP from the PC 

Any assistance with this would be mighty appreciated. Networking really isn't my thing, and I envy those of you who understand this stuff.

Heres the project pkt file : https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/11pL25FGDxVd4Au18c3z_ImR3_kLyJqot?usp=drive_link

Thanks,
-Adnan

Hello @Adnan-ciscoooo, welcome to the community.

I understand your frustration, we've all been in your shoes. I vividly remember how tough it was to get started in networking, I don't know how many times I failed at routing configuration before it finally started making sense. It's completely fine to ask for help here, that's what the community is here for!

Can you tell us more about where you are getting stuck on these issues?

A few points:

• What must be in place to reach the server from the PC?
• What's required for DHCP to function properly for PC1?
• What's the intended path for the traffic, and what's missing to make it happen?

I am unfortunately not able to access the file in google drive. Could you send it directly in this thread?

Hi @torbjorn, thank you so much for the warm welcome and encouragement — it really means a lot!

You're right, getting started with networking has definitely been a challenge, but it's reassuring to know others have been through it too. I appreciate the support from this community.

I'll re-upload the file directly here in the thread shortly so it's accessible.

Thanks again for your willingness to help — looking forward to getting this sorted with your guidance!
