Hi ! I think I'll learn a lot from the official forums, what a fast response, thanks ! Look, this is what show ip interface brief dumps :

Interface IP-Address OK? Method Status Protocol

ATM0 unassigned YES NVRAM up up

ATM0.1 89.128.227.208 YES DHCP up up

BRI0 unassigned YES NVRAM administratively down down

BRI0:1 unassigned YES unset administratively down down

BRI0:2 unassigned YES unset administratively down down

FastEthernet0 192.168.0.1 YES NVRAM up down

NVI0 unassigned YES unset up up

The IP you can see at the ATM0.1 iface is my public inet IP, so I think it's ok. I can't ping outside. And I can tell you this evening, trying with other parameters I succes pinging the inet, even translating with DNS. But I erased it and now I'm like this again . . I can't remember what I exactly did. Thanks again for your support.

I would suggest removing the default route to atm0.1. When you get the dhcp address, you should also get a gateway and your default route is likely the problem.

You're right ! I did not realize that if the connection it's done by DHCP everything else is auto-assigned too. Now it's working, but I have to ask another question. I have to configure the DNS on my computer to get in to the http, can you tell me how to automatize the DNS name resolving ? Thanks so much for this quick response !

Let's stick with just IP before introducing DNS into the picture.

From the router, try this command:

ping 4.2.2.1 source ATM0.1

and post the result here.

Thank you Edison, I tried what you said and the ping was satisfactory. Can you explain what is that ping to the interface ? Now my problem it's solved but it's interesting to know more. I'm looking to get the DNS working automatically with the hosts that go outside with the 1700 as gateway. Thanks so much.

You need to supply the local devices with DNS information either via DHCP or static.

From the router config, it seems you were provided with 2 DNS servers.

ip name-server 80.58.61.250

ip name-server 80.58.61.254

Enter those IP address at your workstation(s) under DNS and you should be able to browse the internet.

The workstation(s) must have a default gateway of 192.168.0.1 and an IP within the 192.168.0.x subnet.

Ok, thank you very much. So if I want to supply the DNS automatically to the workstations, I have to configure the DHCP server right ? You can't make the machines get the DNS server address if you don't provide them with DHCP so ? Thanks!

Thank you so much !

Hi,

Try doing extended ping using the ip address of the fastethernet interface as the source.

Hi,

Your IP is routable over the internet, more over i can actually ping it:
