Trying to get NAT and "ip address dhcp" working

[marchon1960]

On my 1751 router I setup ethernet port e 1/0 to get it's ip address from a DHCP server using the below commands

Ip address dhcp
no shut
ip nat outside

What I don't understand is why it's not being assigned a IP address? What I'm trying to setup Lan in my office using NAT to translation. Even when I put a static address on E 1/0 I'm not getting pass the 1751 Router

sh run

have you tried puting in a default route

 

[marchon1960]

Not really sure what to use as a default route. Would it be for example :

ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 192.168.2.253

or

ip route 192.168.3.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.2.253


or 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 e 1/0

Thanks

 

[fousait]

would be like the next hop
ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 192.168.2.252
assuming that 192.168.2.252 is the next hop

 

[marchon1960]

So what you're saying is the outside interface in this case the ip address of E1/0 which is address 192.168.2.253 255.255.255.0 would be the next hop?

Ignore my 20:37 update

The next hop would be the IP address of whatever's plugged into the "wan" end of the router. I think you need to explain what's plugged into both router ports in a bit more detail, and what network is what.

 

[marchon1960]

Router#config t
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
Router(config)#ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 192.168.2.253
%Invalid next hop address (it's this router)
Router(config)#


WallJack----------E1/0 router FA0/0-------2950Switch
192.168.2.253 192.168.3.1 192.168.3.2

Hopes this helps, Thanks

 

[fousait]

what you are looking for is the gateway what ever you would use if you did not have the router there like you just had a computer there that would be your next hop

 

[marchon1960]

I'll have to try that tomorrow, I believe I tried that but I'm not 100% sure. In my office computer the gateway is 192.168.2.3, so I'll use that as the default route. I can't believe how much trouble, what I think of as a simple configuration is causing. Oh well Thank for you help

 

[jpm121]

Your default route should point to the IP address of whatever is hiding on the other end of the wire going into the wall jack. You haven't chosen to share with us what is there.

This could be a cable modem, DSL modem, or something else provided by your ISP.

 

[MTandSAV]

do you need to get an ip address from your ISP on E1/0??
you might want to use speed 10mb half duplex for the port settings.
Is there another dhcp server in your network that will give ip addresses to the hosts? Or is the router that suppose to do? As I don't see a dhcp pool configured.

CCNA, CCNP..partly

Damm wic card was faulty. I have a established command in my access-list which prevents me from using my nortel and cisco VPN any ideas?

Thanks
