Connecting a host NIC to a router's E port

| Hi! Need some help for host-to-router connection...
I'm trying to hook up my laptop's NIC to the e0 interface of my router. (to simulate a host connected to a router)
I've static-coded my IP on the NIC as well the ip address on the e0 interface of the router's e0 port.
This config doesn't seem to work. Ran a search on cisco.com but all it turned up were not very helpful results.
Has anyone who's done it b4 kindly share some info with me?
Thanks a mil! | |

| Need more info on your addressing. I suck at properly cabling but believe you need a crossover to go from router interface to host or put a hub in between the devices.

| I have never tried connecting a router E0 straight to a NIC. My guess would be a straight through cable. I know if you connect a router E0 to a hub/switch, and then the hub/switch to a NIC, you need a straight through for both. If you only have one node to connect to that segment, you should be able to bypass the hub/switch all together and simply connect e0 to the NIC with a straight through.
What is the address/mask on the NIC?
What is the default gateway for the NIC?
What is the address/mask on the router E0?
IS there a link light at both ends?
Can you ping 127.0.0.1 from the PC?
Did you do a NO SHUT on the router E0?
Did you put a clockrate on E0? (Your not suppose to)
Do a SHOW IP INT BRIEF. Is E0, UP UP???

| like devices (can be read "end node" or NOT concentrator in this case) use cross-over.
switch to switch or hub to hub use cross-over. computer to hub/switch use straight. router to hub/switch use straight. so, one can deduce that computer to router use cross-over.
or, throw them both into a hub or switch and use staight-throughs. | |
