Having trouble configuring Cisco 881 G Router, not routing between VLAN

Hello,
I am trying to get a Cisco 881G Router up and running and am having issues with the routing.
Most routers have a Serial interface and Ethernet LAN interface but not these routers. I setup the FE4 as my wan IP and it is working ok, I then setup a VLAN and assigned FE0 to it. DHCP is working on the LAN side. From the console port I can ping the internet and the LAN IP but from the LAN I can not get out. I am confused as what to set the LAN side default gateway to since the router does not have an LAN ethernet port? I have been using the VLAN IP as the default gateway for the LAN DHCP. I have IP routing enabled but the thing wont route traffic from one VLAN out the router.

One thing that is strange is that when I do a "show vlans" command it says no VLANs are configured but as you can see below, they are and I even has a port assigned to one.......

have you tried creating vlan 255, you need to create it then apply it to the interface. also you might need to set fa0 to switchport

Hi
Yes, created vlan 255, added F0 to vlan 255 but when I do a show vlans command it says no vlans are configured?
i'm not sure the 881 allows you create multiple vlan's. you can put your ip address on vlan 1 and remove the switchport access vlan 255 off of fa0 and it should work. Even though vlan 1 is bad practice, did you create vlan 2 or was it there by default, if it was on by default i would try and use vlan 2. are you using all four lan ports? if no then you should be able to put the ip on fa0 port and it should work.
Hi
I tried doing Vlan 1 already, same results, not routing out the router.
I did create vlan 2, I believe you can have many vlans with the 881.

I know this has to do something with the error message I get when I do a show vlans, it says no vlans configured when their are actually 6 as you can see in my "show int status" command.......... very strange.
a show int status doesn't give you any detail into vlan's if you create a interface for vlan 100 it will do nothing until you create the vlan. how are you trying to create the vlan?

e found)
that is very strange you vtp shows vlan's, but your show vlan doesn't. something isn't right as your show ip route should show the vlan 255 as connected. You might try and copy your config and wipe the router if you can. it also could be an ios bug.
I am beginning to think the same thing?

Here is the show vlans

QUA_RTR_01#show vlans

No Virtual LANs configured.

QUA_RTR_01#
what is your show version. see if there is a newer ios I'm thinking bug
Cisco IOS Software, C880 Software (C880DATA-UNIVERSALK9-M), Version 12.4(22)YB2
There is this bug. I would upgrade to the latest ios, you have a older image.
CSCse86912
VLAN switching broken
Symptoms: Packets are not switched.

Conditions: This symptom is observed when you configure a VLAN for Xconnect.

Workaround: There is no workaround.
Thanks, I will work on getting that image.
I have been doing some monitoring on my switches and have seen that the router is indeed forwarding the lan IP addresses but not getting replies. I am pretty sure I need to NAT the inside IP because the router is passing the LAN IP whcih of course can not be routed. Need to get the book out on setting up NAT.
