Can ping the router but cannot ping the host from the router!!!

Mgrf1

Hello,

I am practicing for the CCNA exam with the lab work. I have set up the 1800 Cisco Router as directed but cannot ping from the router to the host (my computer). I have turned off all firewalls. I am going crazy trying to sort this out! I have learned a crap load of commands trying to figure it out, so that is a plus! - smile

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Thank Mike

You gave us absolutely no information to help you troubleshoot. Paste your configs, a diagram.. something!

Is your computer setup on the same subnet as your router? Since you don't have DHCP running on your router, your computer won't know what to do.

Also, you might want to configure your default gateway on the router.

I'd guess it has something to do w/ the host network settings and not the router.

Is your computer set to static addressing w/ the correct information assigned to it? Is the router directly connected to the computer's NIC, or is there another router in between?

Also, if you do show ip interfaces brief, is the interface up/up?

Cross-over cable and make sure you are in the same subnet.

Heero

if you can ping host to router but not router to host, it is almost always a firewall issue or user error with the ping command.

Okay, I am the biggest idiot on the planet (or rather I feel like one!) I happen to look in the back of the router and guess what I found?? That I had connected my crossover cable in the fa0/1 port vice the fa0/0 port that I had enabled!!!

Many apologies and I thank everyone for trying to help this newbie out!!
