Cannot get Cisco 2621 router working.

Yes. The WAN connection is via ethernet. I can ping the gateway of x.x.170.1 from the router. The dilaer-lists were in the config already. I didn't add that.

Are the IP addresses on you Ethernet Interfaces Public or Private Addresses?

You could try entering a routing protocol on the router

conf t
router rip
network x.x.170.52
network x.x.64.161

otherwise, if the addresses are private, you will need to set up NAT on the router.

I should have said on FE0/1, your LAN

They are public addresses.

I tried what you suggested and I don't think it worked. See below. I also removed the dialer-list.

sterling.gw.twtc#config t
Enter configuration commands, one per line.  End with CNTL/Z.
(config)#router rip
(config-rout)#network x.x.170.52
(config-rout)#network x.x.64.161
(config-rout)#^Z

resulting show run:

Hi can you ensure ip routing is running with:

sh protocols

then ensure that the /28 is routed through the outside interface correctly but tracerouting the inside int ip from a remote location, you may have to 'call a friend' to do this

Dan,

I don't know what "sh protocols" is. Can you elaborate?

I know that I cannot trace to the inside interface. Now I'm confused. When I trace to the outisde interface it succeeds. When I trace to the inside interface it ends up on the sbcglobal network which I know I am not. Does this mean my inside is a private scheme and I need to NAT?

on the Router

type
Show Protocols
Show ip interface brief
show ip route

Enter each of these commands and report the results please.

Here you go. Thanks.

S*   0.0.0.0/0 [1/0] via x.x.170.1

Also, try and have someone do a tracert from another network to your LAN interface, if these are public addresses and the routes are set up correctly from the ISP, the last address they will hit should be your WAN side IP address on your router.

I'm still waiting to hear back from my ISP regarding a static route.

I can do a trace from another network to the WAN side of my router.
