Linking one LAN segment with another LAN segment through Cisco routers

I have  02 domains in a forest. These domains are at 02 different sites interconnected thru T1. Domain A uses 100.100.101.0/16 subnet and domain B uses 100.100.103.0/16 subnet. Domain A has Cisco1700 router with 100.100.100.253/23 ip address for e0 and 10.10.1.2/30 for s0 interface. This router connects to domain B thru T1 on Cisco 2611 router on s0/1 with ip address 10.10.1.1/30. e0/0 interface on Cisco 2611 router has ip adress 100.100.103.1/24.

We have decided to move domain A to the same physical site as domain B eliminating T1 between Cisco 1700 and Cisco 2611 routers. How should I configure the s0 interface on 1700 router and s0/1 interface on 2611 router to ensure un-interrupted data flow. Thanks.

How many hosts do you have on domain A and B respectively at the moment?

45 on A and 25 on B
Change 1 of the s0 to a DCE and use a DCE serial cable. This will connect to your other router via it's DTE cable.
1700 router has a WIC port currently used by T1. Likewise, 2600 router has the WIC port currently used byT1. Only RJ-45 cable can be used to connect the two routers between these two ports.
Oops my apologies, saw s/0 and assumed serial WICs. Have you tried a cross-over rj-45 cable?
I am going to try that today. Here are the current configs of 2611 and 1700 routers. Could you suggest modifications in these configs to suite the new environments with T1 removed? Thanks.

You mean I have to only add clockrate in s0 config of 1700 router, and no change whatsoever in rest of the configuration of both routers. This way you are simulating the current T1 link? Am I right?
That's correct. I usually run this type of setup on my test bench. Try it if you have spare routers
Do I need to make a special RJ-45 crosscover cable for T1 simulation. If so, can you give me the pin connections?
The standard
1 -> 3
2 -> 6
3 -> 1
4 -> 4
5 -> 5
6 -> 2
7 -> 7
8 -> 8
It didn't work. I could not ping 2611 router from 1700 router after entering the clock rate in s0 of 1700 router as suggested by you.
Secondly, the 1700 router did not accept 1554000 clock rate saying that no such clock rate exits. So I entered a clock rate of 125000 which was taken, but this clock rate won't show itself in the running-config.
post your show interface s/0 of both routers
also when in the interface config mode, enter, clock rate ? this will tell you what you clock rate options are.
Also confirm you are entering the clocking in the DCE interface and not the DTE? A show interface will tell you which is a DCE or DTE
Here are the results of show interfaces for both routers:

I had to replace the RJ-45 interfaces with serial DCE/DTE interfaces on both routers. Now I can ping one router from the other and vice versa. I believe the solution will work when put in a production environment.
