Gateway of last resort is not set...

I've been labbing for a little while now. I set my default route to ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 e0

Now, when I go back and check sh ip route. I get the gateway of last resort is not set.

What do I need to change?

Also, just to let you know I'm just playing with my home cable modem, trying to get my 1710 router to be able to talk across the internet.

What routing protocol are you using?

I'm using RIP.

If you're using ripv2, maybe try disabling auto summary. I know sometimes default routes won't propogate using auto summary (ran into that recently), but you might post your config for more experienced folks to take a look at.

I did that. It works when I connect everything up to my home router (much appreciated by the way). But whenever I connect to my cable modem it loses everything and won't grab the DHCP from it.

Is E0 up? Did you try ip default gateway? Sorry I meant default network.

Yep. E0 is up. Status = UP protocol =UP. IP Address is unassigned.

The default network needs to be the link to FA0/0, correct?

I dont know your topology but I think you probaby missing the ip default network command. Review the link I posted

Did you reboot the cable modem after you put the router in behind it? I don't know the technical term on the cable modems but I've seen plenty of them get ticked off and not hand out DHCP leases if the device behind it changes. Put the router behind it, reboot the modem, then reboot the router and take it from there.

That worked. I appreciate it. I wouldn't have thought about rebooting my cable modem. This is definitely helping me learn though.

Here's a copy and paste from the router.
