Cannot ping external router interface

Any idea why I can't ping the external router interface? I am using packet tracer. Is there any surefire way to determine which interface is set as the WAN connect? I currently have PC -> Switch - > Router <-> Router. I can ping from the PC to 192.168.0.1 but I cannot ping 192.168.1.1 but I can ping from the router to 192.168.1.2 (other router). version 12.2

what is the second router's ip address???you should include a static route in your second router and your pc's default gateway must be the fastethernet0/0 ip add ress

Bundiman

is the external interface up. By that I mean plugged into something? First can you ping the ip address from the router itself? Second run "show ip interface brief" does to show the Status and Protocols being up?

My guess is that the other router 192.168.1.2, doesn't know how to get to your 192.168.0.1 network, add a static route of that network pointing to 192.168.1.1 and that should solve your problem.

From PC 192.168.0.254 I can ping 192.168.0.1. I cannot ping 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.1.2

From router 1 which has an ip 192.168.0.1 and 192.168.1.1 I can ping 192.168.1.2 and 192.168.0.254

Is the PCs default gateway set correctly?

prtech

Looks like networker got it already. I bet your default gateway on the PC is not configured properly.
