Thanks, that helps.

To set the default route, it this correct?

ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0. 199.0.161.245

Correct.

Edison.

I have completed that. The servers can see each other, but I can not get to the internet. My WAN, fastethernet0/0 is up, but the protocol is down. When I look at ip routes, it says Gateway of last resort not set. Its shows 199.0.169.0/29 is subnetted, 199.0.169.16/29 is directly connected , VLAN1.

Any suggestions?

We need to make sure the interface is up/up before dealing with any ip route issues.

What's the device providing the connection to F0/0?

It is connected via Ethernet in a hosting colo.

You need to troubleshoot that connection. Make sure the encapsulation matches (are they using PPPoE?) and the wiring is correct.

The goal is to have the FasEthernet up/up.

I have entered the default route. When I look at routes, it still says Gateway of last resort not set. Is this normal?

The next-hop is not available at the moment since the FastEthernet is down. Once the FastEthernet is up/up, the route will be shown.

Wasn't I helpful on my previous post? not sure about the rating of '1'.

There is nothing I can suggest about bringing a LAN interface up/up other than checking wiring issues. Is that simple.

Thanks for you help. I appreciate it. Your advice.

"You need to troubleshoot that connection." That is what I am doing.

"Make sure the encapsulation matches (are they using PPPoE?)" I guess I should have been more specific. It is ethernet to another router.

"The goal is to have the FasEthernet up/up."

PPPoE is done over Ethernet and that's the only protocol that I can think of, which would prevent an LAN interface from coming up/up if the wiring is fine.

If it's Ethernet to another router, you need a xover cable.

Good luck with dealing with the Colo tech-support :)
