Not connection through Cisco 857 Router

We have a Cisco 857 configured to log onto our ISP and provied straight through access to our network.  An ISA Server is the only internal connection to the router.

The problem we have, is that we get no external access at all.  The router is connecting to our ISP as after monitoring the connection through the console, we are connecting to their gateway and we are recieving our IP Address from our ISP.  The router is saying that a route has been established to the ISP's gateway.

But, when we check our SDM it is saying that our WAN Connection is down whilst when we check through a terminal session to the router it is saying it is up.

This is starting to drive me mad as, not being a cisco person, cannot figure our why it's not working, even after looking through all the troubleshooting tips from Cisco.

Our Running Config is:

Try adding a default route

ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 dialer0

To lrmoore:

Ah, yes please. forgot about them.

I'll try those config options out and report back if anything else crops us.
Thats great guys, we can now get external access.

Thanks for that, i'll divvy the points up between you both.

From one problem to another.  We also host an exchange server with Webmail, Active sync and Blackberry enterprise server.

Connecting via active sync is horrifically slow and the other two just time out.  is there a way to speed up access to these services without compromising the security of the router?

Lrmoore,

Would the command be something like:

IP nat inside source static tcp [External adderss] 25 [internal address] 25?

Is that the correct syntax for the command?
Can I use the command in the following form:

ip nat inside source static tcp 192.168.1.2 25 interface dialer 0 25

or will I have to use IP address to create the NAT between them?
I have done the commands to no joy.  This time I can't even get a response from the router via an external connection.

I should've added to the previous comment, our set up is as follows:

Cisco 857 --> ISA 2004 ---> Exchange Server.

The ISA is the gateway for the network and has 2 static addresses of 192.168.1.10 for external and 192.168.0.1 for internal.

192.168.0.1 is the gateway IP address.

The routers internal IP is 192.168.1.1 and we have a static IP address for our wan connection.

the command, ip nat inside source static tcp 192.168.1.2 80 x.x.x.x 80 doesn't seem to work.

Am I missing something?  My config hasn't changed since I introduced the above command for external access.

Problem solved.  my Dialer0 wasn't being used as the primary external connection for allowing traffic to come from outside to inside.

How can I divvy the points up between two people?

Glad you've figured it out!
