Help help help cisco routing

[code:1]write erase[/code:1]

Then

[code:1]reload[/code:1]

cool

I have done the reload.

So I have been taking to a Router> promt.

Okay. Start with the basics:

[code:1]
conf t

hostname cisco2600
ip route 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0 Ethernet0/0
ip route 192.168.2.0 255.255.255.0 Ethernet0/1


int e0/0
ip address 192.168.1.254 255.255.255.0

interface Ethernet0/1
ip address 192.168.2.254 255.255.255.0 [/code:1]

o.k now do i need to save that at all>?

So that is my config at the present moment in time.

Yes, save it:

What is your topology? You have 1 router and two PCs? Are they connetect to a switch or are you directly plugged into the router's interfaces?

I setup a quick test in my lab:

PC1: 192.168.1.100 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway 192.168.1.254

PC2: 192.168.2.100
Default Gateway 192.168.2.254

Here is how I connected them:
PC1==Crossover Cable==E0/0
PC2==Crossover Cable==E0/1

One machine is running XP and the other is running Windows 2000

I was able to ping all interfaces and accross to the other PC from either direction.

I even removed the routes and it worked because the networks are directly connected:

no ip route 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0 Ethernet0/0
no ip route 192.168.2.0 255.255.255.0 Ethernet0/1
