Help, please... *beg* :o ;)

I've changed jobs and I've got an issue with my new network not letting traffic from the internet through the Cisco 878 Firewall Router.

I've configured Netgear routers before, and successfully forwarded ports to 25 and 80 etc to get SMTP and OWA working, but despite allowing (I think) traffic to port 25 to be directed to the exchange server, no-one can telnet to it (what the hell is telnet?), and I can't even ping my external IP address from outside the network.

I've spent days on this, and I'm about at breaking point. Does anyone here know anything about Cisco routers, or know where I should be looking for help?

Any help appreciated. :)

Aye, post the config up.
As a pointer you need to have a static translation (or port redirection) in place.

You would use port redirection if you only had one public IP address available for use. Basically this would do exactly the same thing as Port forwarding on a Netgear or Linksys box.

Example:

"ip nat inside source static tcp 192.168.100.80 4662 interface Ethernet0 4662"


This is taken directly from mine. Basically this statement is the router saying "when i see traffic hit the outside interface on port 4662, i need to translate this to 192.168.100.80 on port 4662".
You will need to replace ethernet0 with "dialer0" on an ADSL router, which should apply to you as its an SHDSL router.
Obviously your ports need to change also to suit your needs.

Second would be the access list. This should be pretty straightforward.

Do a "show run" and let it scroll as it does. Type /interface and it will filter the config down to your interfaces.
Look for dialer0 (im assuming it will be dialer0 here, not personally touched the 878) and it will have a statement that says " ip access-group 101 in" for example. This means that access-list 101 is protecting your outside interface (ADSL).
You need to edit this access-list to allow the traffic, so for example you start with the following:

access-list 101 permit icmp any any echo-reply
access-list 101 permit icmp any any time-exceeded
access-list 101 permit icmp any any unreachable
access-list 101 permit tcp any host 192.168.100.81 eq 25

You would need to add the following to make this work for HTTP to the same ip we used for the translation:

access-list 101 permit icmp any any echo-reply
access-list 101 permit icmp any any time-exceeded
access-list 101 permit icmp any any unreachable
access-list 101 permit tcp any host 192.168.100.81 eq 25
access-list 101 permit tcp any host 192.168.100.80 eq 80
access-list 101 deny ip any any log


That should do it, and also give you logs when people try to access your other devices.

go to the workstation you need to access http traiffic and watch what its doing remotly or something...

It's a Router with a firewall module, not a firewall, though I think the commands are fairly similar I don't think they are the same

Telnet is as described above, but I'd use SSH and putty as a client as Telnet sends everything in clear text

My apologies for the delay, I'd been trying to get VPN working, and on just realised what a mess it made of the running configuration, so I reset it and tried a couple of things.

First of, I configured the router without enabling the firewall, whch meant that I could ping my external ip address from home. This is the config:

Thanks for all the replies, but I'm afraid this was pretty much the only one that I understood. :o

At (a bit) of a guess, I'd point at access list 101. Surely you'd need a permit icmp any any echo-request (since the request will be coming in to the router, and the reply will be going out from the router)?
The deny ip any any at the end isn't needed either - it's implicitly there.

It is, but it's a useful one to have as it gives statistics for packets dropped and can be useful for troubleshooting

Quite, though as said, it would be much more useful if it (and/or the rest of the denies) had log at the end.

I've added the icmp thing, and can now ping the external IP, but still can't connect to the ports I've opened. Someone suggested I need to configure NAT as I'm using a single static IP? How would I do that?
 
Example:

"ip nat inside source static tcp 192.168.100.80 4662 interface Ethernet0 4662"


This is taken directly from mine. Basically this statement is the router saying "when i see traffic hit the outside interface on port 4662, i need to translate this to 192.168.100.80 on port 4662".
You will need to replace ethernet0 with "dialer0" on an ADSL router, which should apply to you as its an SHDSL router.
Obviously your ports need to change also to suit your needs.

And as suggested, edit your ACL to suit too.

Cheers, it took me a while to figure out how to get the GUI to make that change to the running config, and I'm now running this:-

I can ping the external IP, but if I enter the ip address into Internet explorer, I get a Page Cannot Be Displayed error.

Any thoughts? Is it possible to ping individual ports to see if they're opened correctly?

You missed the colon - that might help
