Cisco 876 router
Tuesday, September 19, 2006 at 23:31
Today I got a Cisco 876W router to play with at home. The router has an ADSL interface, wireless, and several fast ethernet ports. So it's an ideal replacement candidate for my Thompson ADSL modem.
Since I'm a software nerd, I'm not that familiar with hardware devices (understatement), but since the router has a web interface for the configuration, I thought... "how hard can it be?".. Well, damn hard.
I had the LAN part up and running within minutes (well almost :) ). I even got my WAN interface up after two hours (the dialer interface received my "almost-static-IP adress" from my provider). The only problem I have at this moment is that there's no routing (or whatever) being done between my LAN and the Internet.
I SHALL NOT GIVE UP!
HELP!!!!!
b.t.w. I'll be posting my basic (future) working config later on (If I don't throw that piece of crap out of the window first).
