I'm having an issue with this config. Trying to make a border router config with this.

Hardware:
Cisco 2621 router

Connection:
Wireless isp connection (dhcp, MAC address required)

Problem:
Can't get traffic from inside nat to outside nat. DHCP works, but can't ping outside network from internal network. Can ping core router of ISP, but nothing else. Thinking it's a NAT/Route issue, but don't know enough to say what it is. HELP!

config file:

Doing this is bad, your router assumes all destinations are directly connected, so it send out unneeded ARP requests for everything.

He's only using ACL 100, so maybe ACL 1 is for something else.

While I Agree with you 100%, I've found it easier in case your isp likes to change your dhcp lease often you don't have to keep changing your default route.
 
^You shouldn't include it at all.

Also, there is also no need to manually enter a static route, the DHCP client on the router will enter one for you automatically. The tricky part is that this automatic route will have an administrative distance of 254, so any other more specific or lower distance routes will override it and you'll have WAN connectivity problems.

Cheers

You don't have to enter a default route when using DHCP, it is set for you. Pointing a default out a static is stupid in most cases.
 
Must be getting an IP if he can ping his ISP.

Try "ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 dhcp"

I don't know how he's pinging anything with an empty routing table... Also, your command shouldn't be necessary.

Hey OP, how about posting the output of "sh ip int b" like I asked.
 
show ip int b

You need to make up your mind on a config before asking for help. Changing it around every 12 hours isn't helping the troubleshooting process...

Additionally, you just posted a level 7 password for anyone to see and that can be cracked in about half a second. I'd do two things, A. Edit your post and get rid of it, and B. Start using "enable secret" instead of "enable password"

See if that helps.

will be rolling the password after the install. Thanks for the concern though.
 
So now you're using a static IP with a /16 mask? That's definitely not right. Do you have anyone you can get to help you?

I know that's my IP given from my ISP. Hasn't rolled in years. I think i fat fingered that subnet mask, supposed to be /24 i think.

I called my ISP to ask for help and they said they didn't know CISCO configs well. I'm kind of stuck...
 
I doubt your ISP is giving you a /24 unless you're paying a good amount per month.

Your config is totally effed at this point. Just start over. Post your (exact) IP information for both inside and outside interfaces and I'll give you a basic config to start from.

Here's what my smoothwall (trying to move away from it) conf is.

Code:
eth1 (Red)
  	IP Address: 	209.103.235.139 	Broadcast 	209.103.235.255
Netmask 	255.255.255.0 	MTU 	1500
MAC Address 	00:0F:66:D2:39:26 	Status 	UP

inside i want a 172.16.0.0 255.255.252.0 network with a dhcp server. Outside needs the mac cloning to make it work with my ISP.

Here's my current routing table (dhcp made this, i didn't)
Code:
Destination 	Gateway 	Genmask 	Flags 	Metric 	Ref 	Use 	Interface
209.103.235.0 	0.0.0.0 	255.255.255.0 	U 	0 	0 	0 	Red
192.168.0.0 	0.0.0.0 	255.255.255.0 	U 	0 	0 	0 	Green
0.0.0.0 	209.103.235.1 	0.0.0.0 	UG 	0 	0 	0 	Red

You can see now that i'm on a 192.168 network that i want to migrate away from. Is that everything you need?
 
Here's a basic config:

Code:
!
ip dhcp pool home_lan
   network 172.16.0.0 255.255.255.0
   default-router 172.16.0.1 
   dns-server 4.2.2.2 
!
!
interface FastEthernet0/0
 description connected to Cisco1548
 ip address 172.16.0.1 255.255.255.0
 ip nat inside
 duplex auto
 speed auto
!
!
interface FastEthernet0/1
 description connected to Internet
 mac-address 000f.66d2.3926
 ip address dhcp
 ip nat outside
 duplex auto

!
!
ip access-list extended NAT
 permit ip 172.16.0.0 0.0.0.255 any
!
!
ip nat inside source list NAT interface Fa0/1 overload
!

Get rid of all your other stuff and just use that. Then do "sh ip int b" and see if you're getting an IP from your provider. If not, there are issues beyond your config.
