Connecting netgearDG384G with 2514

Wandering if anyone can help?

Ive decided to go for CCNA whilst I still study for MCSE. I have 2*2514 and a 2900 swith. I managed to connect everything (and config) but I havent been able to route the internet through. The netgear is connected to e0 on the first router, it is connected as I can see at 10Mbs and I can ping from anywhere to a PC connected to the netgear. However I can only ping the netgear from the attached router (not from my other router or PCs) Its only the netgear router its self, ie anything connected to it i can ping? Also I can see by the horible orange light that its at 10mbs where as the other is at 100 (i have swapped and got the same result).

Any idea's ?

Im trying to get some knowledge in whilst I still need internet without having to change everything, as I said I still have 3 exams for MCSE to go.

Also any advise on taking the 2 exams or 1 would be helpful

Thanks

This sounds similar to the problem I ran into not long ago. I had two routers just like you did and had it hooked to a broadband linksys router. I could ping anywhere on the internet from the first connected router but had no connectivity with the other routers. I eventually found out that while I entered static routes into the routers correctly, I failed to set a static route in the Linksys router that hooks to my internet modem. So what happened was the farthest internal router could easily send a ping request to anywhere on the internet but as it came back my linksys router had no idea where that internal network was located so it just dropped the packet. So, take a look at static routing on your top level router.
