CISCO 2600 - routing problem

Situation like this on CISCO 2600:

fa0/0 - 61.XXX.XXX.243 255.255.255.248 - connected to T1 61.XXX.XXX.241

fa0/1 - 72.XXX.XXX.11 255.255.255.248 - connected to cable modem

E1/0 - 61.XXX.XXX.253 255.255.255.248- connected to host

I have Internet access from both the router and the host with static route over T1: ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 61.XXX.XXX.241

but with static route over cable modem : ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 72.XXX.XXX.9 I can ping Internet (for example yahoo.com) only from router not from the host. From the host I can just ping the cable modem 72.XXX.XXX.9. I can't ping the next hop after the modem what is 72.XXX.XXX.14/29

What is the problem? Please help.

If you can ping the cable modem's interface from both the Cisco 2600 & from your host, and therefore the interface (fa0/1) connected to the cable modem is showing up/up status, then the problem isn't with your Cisco router, it's with the cable modem/line.

I suspect that when you connect to the router and ping the next hop after the cable modem, that the packets are actually going out over the T1 connection. Or did you shut down/disconnect that interface before trying that? Try to do a traceroute 72.XXX.XXX.14 to see if that's the case.
