Question : Problem: Need help configuring a CISCO 1711 (a rookie question)

I am a developer just learning about configuring routers and am having some trouble configuring a CISCO 1711.  I am just using this router for development of load balancing software.  I also have a CISCO SOHO 91 and used the web configuration tool to set up the router and have used telnet to set some NAT settings.

What i would really like to accomplish is the following:

Have the router provide an internal private network on the inside but be able to use the DNS of the outside network (my corporate network).  With the SOHO 91 i have accomplished this with the following configuration (external ip of 172.31.11.64):

   
        version 12.3
        no service pad
        service timestamps debug uptime
        service timestamps log uptime
        service password-encryption
        !
        hostname keith
        !
        enable secret 5 xxxxx
        !
        username CRWS_Giri privilege 15 password 7 xxxxx
        username keith password 7 xxxxx
        no aaa new-model
        ip subnet-zero
        ip name-server 172.31.2.1
        ip dhcp excluded-address 10.10.10.1
        !
        ip dhcp pool CLIENT
           network 10.10.10.0 255.255.255.0
           default-router 10.10.10.1
           dns-server 172.31.2.1
           domain-name xxxxx.com
           lease 0 2
        !
        !
        interface Ethernet0
         ip address 10.10.10.1 255.255.255.0
         ip nat inside
         no ip mroute-cache
         no cdp enable
         hold-queue 32 in
        !
        interface Ethernet1
         ip address 172.31.11.64 255.255.255.0
         ip nat outside
         no ip mroute-cache
         duplex auto
         no cdp enable
        !
        ip nat inside source list 102 interface Ethernet1 overload
        ip classless
        ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 172.31.11.254
        ip http server
        no ip http secure-server
        !
        access-list 102 permit ip 10.10.10.0 0.0.0.255 any
        no cdp run
        !
        line con 0
         exec-timeout 120 0
         no modem enable
         stopbits 1
        line aux 0
        line vty 0 4
         exec-timeout 120 0
         login local
         length 0
        !
        scheduler max-task-time 5000
        !
        end

The current configuration i am using for the CISCO 1711 is the following (external IP of 172.31.11.78):

        version 12.3
        service timestamps debug datetime msec
        service timestamps log datetime msec

        end

Currently the CISCO 91 works fine, i can ping the DNS (172.31.2.1) from a pc running on 10.10.10.2 plugged into the router private network jack(using the ping command).   Also i can telnet the router from the pc.

However from the the CISCO 1711 can't ping the DNS,  I try to ping the DNS (172.31.2.1) from a pc running on 10.10.10.3 plugged into the WIC and cannot.  From telnet connection via the console (hyperterminal) i can ping the DNS(172.31.2.1) using the IOS ping command.

Again i am just trying to make a private network but would like to use the DNS of the corporate network.

Thanks in advance for your help

Answer : Problem: Need help configuring a CISCO 1711 (a rookie question)

I think I see the problem- you have

interface FastEthernet0
 ip address 172.31.11.78 255.255.255.0
 ip nat inside

interface FastEthernet4
 switchport access vlan 100
 no ip address
        !
interface Vlan100
 ip address 10.10.10.1 255.255.255.0
        !
interface Vlan1
 no ip address
 ip nat outside

You need
interface FastEthernet0
 ip address 172.31.11.78 255.255.255.0
 ip nat outside
interface Vlan100
 ip address 10.10.10.1 255.255.255.0
 ip nat inside

And shut down VLAN 1, or at least remove ip nat outside from it.
