How do I configure a Cisco PIX with a static IP address?

Hi. I just finished setting up a new network with one server and six workstations. I am using a Time-Warner cable modem (which also is a router) connected to a Cisco PIX 501 connected to a switch.

At this time, it is not physically connected as the cable modem is set up currently with a dynamic IP address. I paid for a static IP address, which T-W will set up when I call them.

I have used a Cisco PIX before, but it was already set up. I also managed it through command line prompts and not through a browser interface. I am pretty sure this one can be configured through a windows browser interface.

All of the people who helped set up the LAN with the cable runs, etc. have no idea how to configure the router.

I would like to configure the router so it works with the static IP address. I have the IP addresses, subnet mask, DNS numbers and gateway.

Is this something I can be talked through or do I need to hire someone who is knowledgeable in Cisco routers?

Thanks.

Bert

Rajesh,

Thanks for your quick reply. I read the article, and I may have my answer. I may need to get a consultant : )

But, at least I have some information in case I have a person who is fairly well versed in routers, but maybe not a guru.

Thanks.

Yeah, as I said it is not a impossible task without an *expert*...

Cheers,
Rajesh
