2621XM Internet Access

[dcastlebeck]

Hi guys,

I wrote a message here regarding this a long while back, but I've been unable to get to a computer for a long while and I fear I may have lost my original post, so I'll ask again here and hopefully someone might be able to help me.

I want to use my Cisco 2621XM router to provide internet access to my LAN, could somebody talk me through how to configure IOS for this?

FYI, my internet connection is 1mbps via a cable modem to my isp, my network is 100mbps wired (not wireless).

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Best regards,

Danny.

Have you tried using the router's setup wizard to assist you? Enter the setup command from privilege mode to have the router walk you through a basic initial configuration.

router>enable

router#setup

How many users do you have on your LAN?

Thanks for the reply. I have ten computers on the LAN with two servers.

Set up a default route, and use NAT overload. NAT overload will translate all your internal IPs into the one IP address provided by your ISP. Here's with NAT configuration instructions.
