I'm trying to configure a Cisco 2610 router with two ethernet interfaces as a gateway router. I can ping and traceroute to the Internet from my router's telnet but can not ping or traceroute to Internet from my LAN. Please help - I've spent the past two days on this and can not figure out what I'm doing wrong. Thanks.

Here is my Cisco configuration:

Current configuration:
!
version 12.0
service timestamps debug uptime
service timestamps log uptime
no service password-encryption
!
hostname dolphin
!
enable secret 5
enable password

you need to enable NAT on the router

router(config)#
!
! Goto your "outside" interface and tell it how to NAT
interface Ethernetl0/0
ip nat outside
exit
!
! Goto your "inside" interface and tell it how to NAT
interface Ethernet1/0
ip nat inside
exit
!
! Build an Access-List to tell the router what subnets to block.
access-list 101 permit ip any any
!
! Tell the router to use the new Access-List and to NAT using PAT
ip nat inside source list 101 interface ethernet0/0 overload
exit
copy running-config startup-config

Thank you very much - the problem is solved.

I'm just wondering, in the past when I set up T1 connection and configured the Serial0/0 for outside connection; I never had to setup nat to get the static route working. I just used:

ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 Serial0/0

and traffic flowed from Ethernet0/0 to Serial0/0 automatically without having to specify nat.

Is this because when you configure a Serial port for outside connection, the router would automatically uses nat?

Again - thank you for your help.

192.168.1.0/24 are private ip which is not routable on the internet..you need public ip to reach the internet..thats why you need NAT
