2610 router with external modem - Help Please.

Hello all-

I recently purchased a 2610 series router to practice at home with to get familar with some of the commands before I take the test. My plans were to connect my cable modem into the Ethernet port 0/0 on the back of the router and connect the ethernet port 0/1 to my switch and use this as my home router. I am clearly very inexperienced with this and I am not sure if I am doing this right but here is my logic...

Lets say my static IP address from my ISP is this..

67.187.14.65
255.255.240.0
67.187.0.1 - Default Gateway

And I will configure my inside network with a standard 192.168.1.0 /24 address.
!
interface Ethernet0/0
ip address 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0
ip nat inside


!
interface Ethernet0/1
ip address 67.187.14.65 255.255.240.0
ip nat outside

!
ip nat inside source list 1 interface ethernet1 overload

!
ip classless
ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 67.187.0.1

!
access-list 1 permit 192.168.1.0 0.0.0.255

!
end

Can someone please help me with this or guide me in the right direction I would GREATLY!!! appreciate it.

    Well if I WAS you I would load SDM onto your computer and router and set up PAT and DHCP on your server that way. All you would really need to do is configure in LAN side FA interface with a private IP address and use SDM to configure the rest. It would be an easier approach, at first, to get things working. Then if you want you could go back and manually configure everything. That is just the easier way and what the ICND1 test would expect you to do in the first place.
