Cisco 2620 Basic Pass Through router Configuration - what am I doing wrong?

Have never played with Cisco routers before.
My itention is to configure this router to be a simple pass-through router.
Takes in T1 data connection and give it out to our firewall.
More details on my issues is also posted here:
https://www.experts-exchange.com/questions/23112828/Cisco-2620-router-and-Symantec-1200-firewall.html

When I connect the router with below configuration directly to one od my PCs using the crossover cable, I am not able to browse internet. The static IP address of the PC is setup to be in valid range of IP addresses to work fine with Cisco router.
The PC has this settings
IP: 66.192.xxx.82
Mask: 255.255.255.240
GW: 66.192.xxx.81    (router's Ethernet Port IP address)

Below is my current Cisco router configuration:
To repeat - my idea is for router to act simply as a dumb pass-through box:

TM2600#show config

no ip http server

!
line con 0
 transport input none
line aux 0
line vty 0 4
 password xxxxxxxxx
 login
!
no scheduler allocate
end


Issue that I have is that I can't browse through this router.

When router boots up this is what is displayed:

Pay attention to the last LINEPROTO line changing state to DOWN.

Why is the T1 WIC card port going down after booting up is completed?

Thank you in advance

Cstosgale,
thank you for your time and help.

Here is some info I got from Time Warner - my T1 provider
CSU/DSU @ Router Information:
Framing: ESF
Line Code: B8ZS
Encapsulation: PPP


As far as output when I ran command Show int S0/0 here it is:
TM2600#show int s0/0
Serial0/0 is up, line protocol is down
  Hardware is PQUICC with Fractional T1 CSU/DSU
  Internet address is 66.162.21.218/30
  MTU 1500 bytes, BW 1544 Kbit, DLY 20000 usec,

  Encapsulation HDLC, loopback not set
  Keepalive set (10 sec)

Line protocol is down?

What should I do?

Thanks

I turned on encapsulation ppp on my Serial Port and I can browse on my PC now.

I'll play with plugging it into firewall. Probably will get into some issues :)
By the way, you might want to get EE to mask out the IP from the previous show interface in your previous post! :)

You will also need to know the ISDN switch type, which will be one of these:-

North America  
  primary-4ess
 AT&T 4ESS switch type for the U.S.
 
  primary-5ess
 AT&T 5ESS switch type for the U.S.
 
  primary-dms100
 NT DMS-100 switch type for the U.S.
 
  primary-ni
 AT&T National ISDN switch type


Next You will need to configure the T1 connection as follows:-

isdn switch-type [switch-type from list above]
controller t1 0
  framing esf
  linecode b8zs
  pri-group

interface s0/0
  no ip address

interface s0/0:23
 ip address 66.162.yy.218
 encapsulation ppp
(I'm not sure if you'll need the next bit)
 dialer-group 1
dialer-list dialer-group list 101
access-list 101 permit ip any any


This is the article I built this config from: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/ios/12_0/dial/configuration/guide/dcchant.html#wp4834
The encapsulation was the problem. This isn't an ISDN line so there will not be a need for a dialer. All configuration will be done on int s0/0. I believe stuknhawaii took care of any configuration questions you had. If not you should respond on your original post.

Glad you have it working now.
