I'm still recovering, and very tired so I didn't look though this a whole bunch...

But basiclly your going to need to set up NAT on the router. It will aslo act as a DHCP server if you need it too. Then you need to hook it to a switch and your computers there. It's actually a very simple setup.

how will the topology of it look?

That didnt work when I first tried it...would that be because i didn't have NAT setup?

Most likely. You either need NAT, or a routeable subnet behind the router.

In router(config) should this set it up nicely:

Code:

#ip nat pool [name] 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 #access-list 4 permit any #ip nat inside source list 4 pool [name] #interface FastEthernet 0/0 #ip nat inside #exit #interface FastEthernet 0/1 #ip nat outside #exit

Pretty much taken directly from my CCNA4 curriculum, with a few settings thrown in for loose security.

Since your in a CCNA class.... I'm not gonna give you the answers, instead I will point you in the right direction so you can learn it.

Good reading: http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/556/nat-cisco.shtml

Why is it showing all the incoming connection to the router as a serial interface :-(

Good site, thanks for the reference. I think the code above should work, i had the IPs open so that it *should* work for any span of IPs. Still can't figure out how I would define exact IP address in the course of the plan. Im guessing I'd have to figure out my school IP address, along with the bitmask?

*hint* Try setting the "WAN" ethernet port to DHCP

And don't worry too much about it being Serial or Ethernet.

Also, you can look around my site for maybe some hints....
