I purchased a refurbished Cisco 871 router for use at home.
I configured the router (it was pretty much clean and didn't work when I initially connected it up). Though it does get a public IP address from Comcast, I can't seem to make anything on the inside work (yes, I did power down the cable modem for thirty seconds to clear the memory).
I created a private network on VLAN1 and actually assigned each of the switch ports to VLAN 1 and I created a static route to the outside (ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 fastethernet 4) for Internet traffic.
I can not reach the Internet through the router at all and I'm not sure what the cause is. I did a show ip route and saw networks on VLAN 1 and F4. I also saw the static route that I installed.
So I switched back to my older 831 and I'm back up.

So basically:
LAN Vlan 1 interface BVI 10 Interface Dialer 1 dialer group 1 (dialer list, vpdn, dialer pool) FastEthernet 4
The BVI interface is given the IP address for the router (aka: that your lan uses as default route and that you you to telnet into the router.)
The 831 does not support VLAN. Instead, there are three standard Ethernet ports that comprise the router and four that comprises the internal switch.
E1 - WAN port to the Internet. E0 - Is internal to the 831. You cannot plug into it. It is connected directly to the internal switch. E2 - Is internal and connected to [I think] F4 when it is not shutdown. When activated, this can be used through F4 as a DMZ. You can assign an IP address on a separate network to this port.
There is no VLAN support on the 831. The IP address for the internal network is assigned to E0.
F1 through F3 (and F4 when E2 is shutdown) comprise the internal switch. F1 through F4 appear on the back of the router.
