Router cannot ping outside network

The situation:

Router A (ip 192.168.16.1) is the default gateway for the entire company

Anybody in the company is able to go on the internet and ping 8.8.8.8 (google DNS) from there PC

I myself from my laptop have IP 192.168.16.170 and i can ping 8.8.8.8 my default gw is 192.168.16.1

I configured a lab with Router B a 1841 router with NAT

On Router B FastEth 0/0 is facing Router A

On Router B FastEth 0/1 is facing my lab

The problem:

From Router B, both interfaces can ping 192.168.16.1 (Router A, the default gateway)

From Router B i am unable to ping 8.8.8.8 or any other adress outside the 192.168.16.0 network

I dont undersand how i am able to ping my default gateway yet not be able to ping outside my network.

Keep in mind it works from my laptop or any other PC in the building.

Thank you for the insight

Try changing your default route from "0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 fa0/0" to "0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 192.168.16.1".

Can you ping 192.168.16.1 from RouterB?

  The default gateway is dirtectly attached so you should be able to ping it .  Does router A have a static pointing back to the subnets on router B ?

**I should add that between Router A and B theres a switch**

I do not have access to see Router A routes but i dont think it should matter since its all layer 2 from Router A to the Switch then to Router B (same subnets - facing interfaces)

Router B is uses is interface Fa0-0 (192.168.16.137) to ping Router A (192.168.16.1) wich has an adress on the same subnet.

When i plug my PC into that same switch port with the same static IP (192.168.16.137) i can ping 8.8.8.8

When i plug the Router B in that same port with an interface conigure with the same IP (192.168.16.137), i cannot ping 8.8.8.8

Try changing your default route from "0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 fa0/0" to "0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 192.168.16.1".

Can you ping 192.168.16.1 from RouterB?
