I am a hobbyst with a cisco router. I would like to ask for help in configuring my cisco 831 router so i can hook 4 computers to the internet. Right now i have a cable dsl modem hooked up but i would like to have other computers run off the one connection. For now i dont care about networking the computers together. I just care about having all the computers have internet access.
And regarding firewalls i have a software one so i dont care about that just yet either...

Yes, its been a few years since i worked with routers and did any kind of this work but yes. I looked online to recal what to do. I connected a cable and i can get to enable mode.
Now its just a matter of entering the right commands and ip addresses i think.

Hi Andrew,
You may wish to investigate the Cisco 831 Router Software Configuration Guide:

Are you able to connect a console cable to the router?
Once your in "enable" mode, type "config t" to get in to "config mode". Once there, paste in the following text:
ip subnet-zero ! ip dhcp pool DHCP import all network 172.16.1.0 255.255.255.0 default-router 172.16.2.1 lease infinite ! interface Ethernet0 description Internal LAN ip address 172.16.1.1 255.255.255.0 ! interface Ethernet1 description Internet ip address dhcp ! ip classless ! ip nat inside source list 100 interface Ethernet1 overload ! access-list 100 permit ip any any

Brad, Hey, thanks for the info. I found that poking around the cisco website....But some code snippets help alot too. I am like a person who has a hammer and saw but cant build a house.
I have a few questions?
What kind of connection does a typical DSL provider give? i thought it was ppp or in this case does it matter? For me i want to use my cable DSL connection to share with 4 PC's.
