Hello all. Have finally got a little lab up and running at home: PC workstation ->switch1 ->router1 -> router2 -> Switch2 ->PC server. Full details below.
Two problems:
1) When all powered up I can ping and telnet all the way across from the workstation (Win 2K Prof) to the server (Win 2K Advanced Server) but nothing appears in network neighbourhood etc. I'm guessing that's a WINS server issue, if so apologies as this is a cisco group.
2) A soon as I connect to my ISP I loose connectivity on the home network. Once on-line I can get only as far as the near end of the router - not even to the serial port.
Any help appreciated. Hopefully the above and below is enough info. Please be aware that this was only set up over the weekend, so I could have easily left out an obvious step (which would be my guess - if so please no flames! Especially as I'm trying to do this "for real", and not using Tesstking or whatever). Also, the IP addresses went in from some work ones (force of habit) and thusly are not the standard public ones..
Thanks in advance,
PM
Switch2:
IP: 194.1.1.253
Console pw = switch2
Port2 = W2K server (194.1.1.3)
Port1 = Router2
Router2:
PW = cisco
E0 IP = 194.1.1.254
S0 IP = 196.1.1.254
telnet pw = router2
Router1:
Pw = secret
E0 IP = 193.1.1.254
S0 IP = 196.1.1.253
Vt pw = toast (change to router1)
Switch1:
IP: 193.1.1.253
Port1 = W2K Prof workstation (193.1.1.2)
Port3 = Router1
