Too Hard For Me!!!!

| Here's my scenario:
Our network uses IP 204.x.x.x and there's another that uses 10.x.x.x. Now my question is how do I get both networks to communicate. See, I can login to the main server using both IP's, but I can't ping all the servers that use 204.x.x.x when my workstation uses 10.x.x.x. I can ping 1 server using the 204.x.x.x IP though.
Anyone have ideas on how to have both networks communicate? We use 2000, Novell, AIX,Linux,98,95,OS/2. We uses IPX/SPX and TCP/IP. We have 2 Cisco Catalyst 5000 routers & 1 2600 Series. The 10.x.x.x. is connected to the 2600.
Do I need to configure that router cause that's my guess. "I'm Lost In The Sauce" | |

| Not being the worlds best with Cisco but do you have entries for both IP networks in the routing table on the router?
If not how will one network know how to communicate?
It is a routing issue.

| not sure but;
if these two networks are directly connected to ONE router you don't need to configure it but if one network is connected to R1 (may be 2600) and the other is connected to R2 (may be 5000) you can use a routing protocol such as rip or igrp and you can enter all 3 networks (two is yours and one is between routers) to both routers.
if i'm wrong please correct me | |

Ofcourse u will have to configure that routers otherwise how would u be able to make these routers talk with each other ?...use Rip or Igrp.... u r a beginner as i can guess so i would recommend u to use Rip as ur Routing Protocol ......U Should configure all the Routers Through Rip and they should be in ur Routing Table.......The Command to Configure RIP is
Router(Config)#Router rip
Router(router)# network <ip address>
Hope that Helps  | |

| if you can ping one computer in the 204.x.x.x network from your pc in the 10.x.x.x network then it seems that you do not have a routing problem.
Before I start messing with the router I would first check if the default gateway of the other workstations (those that the pc from the 10.x.x.x can not reach) in the 204.x.x.x network are configured correctly.
if the default gateway is correct, you can start pinging each ip address starting with the defaulty gateway of the pc in 10.x.x.x, and all ip addresses between, then you will know in which router you are having problems with.
btw, you may want to check if the server (204.x.x.x) that you can ping from the 10.x.x.x network can ping the other servers in 204.x.x.x network. if the ping does not work, the servers may be in different segments, different subnetmasks, vlans.
good luck | |

| Thanks for the help everyone. The contractors found out that the gateway on the servers had to be configured with one of our routers IP address. Our original gateway IP was that of the firewall. Once that was change on the servers both the 10.x & 204.x networks could be accessed. Thanks again for everyone's help. I learned something from this. I wonder if I would have learned this in a school or text book? (That is why I love this web site!!) | |

| Right...all the PCs or hosts in your LAN network should point to the default gateway which could be none otherthan the Router itself. This way you connect both the subnets using a router successfully. The problem is solved now! |
