Hi All

Im just getting into a bit of Cisco at home but having some trouble getting my home network to communicate with the lab. I imagine this is fairly standard setup but despite a few days of pouring over articles its time to ask for help!

Il explain the setup as it is at the moment

Run as Modem------------Router 192.168.0.1
VirginMedia----------->TP Link VPN Firewall------->Cisco 2600 RT--------->Cisco 3750 SW


So ive configured port 0/0 on the Cisco 2600 to pick up a DHCP from my LAN which it did.

Port 0/1 is configured as 10.0.0.1 255.0.0.0 with DHCP running and DNS set to 8.8.8.8
Ive set this on fa0/1: route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0. 192.168.0.1

If i run a ping from the 2600 via putty i can ping my 192.168.x.x network. If i then connect my laptop to the 3650 switch i get an IP address from the dhcp (10.0.0.2) but i cannot ping IP's on my 192.168 network.

Im sure im missing something obvious here, do i need to setup a static route on my TP Link router from 192.168.0.0 -> 10.0.0.0.?
 
Solution
You do need the static route in your tplink router if it supports it.

You will not be able to access the internet. Consumer routers generally will only nat the main lan subnet.
