Voltageman Posted December 20, 2005 CID Share Posted December 20, 2005 Yeah for 4 things, you want me download a whole manual. If you dont know just dont answer!! jeeess!! Can it really hurt to have a manual? I bet some of the people that would help you, would read it, just to help you out..(remember there are tons of different routers, and no one can know everything about every one of them...thats why they make manuals) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamaicarocks Posted December 20, 2005 Author CID Share Posted December 20, 2005 i understand but the question is directed to cisco administrators who deal with routers everyday that would say what type of router they are familiar with, and the type of cables used (nothing i ask is for anyone to go and stress themselves over reading manuals i just would like answers based on experience if you have none .dont answer) Thank you!!!!

resopalrabotnick Posted December 20, 2005 CID Share Posted December 20, 2005 ah, so you expect everyone that has ever connected a pc or other device to a cisco router and used the cisco software to configure said router to post their experiences. then you will go and see if any of that info can be applied to your router. at least have the courtesy to p[ost the model router you are trying to hook up to so those that have irrelevant info don't need to bother replying. and btw, in all this time you spent arguing that you expect your information predigested and spoonfed you could have downloaded the manual pertaining to your model number and found the needed info.

jamaicarocks Posted December 21, 2005 Author CID Share Posted December 21, 2005 UR right on incorrect posting !!! but this site is here to help people not to redirect them to other sites for help ......................where the problem can be explained in a few words ...spoonfeeding is partly what this site is here to do (to simplyfy solving a problem so u dont have to go and download manuals or do research. THATS WHY WE ARE HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! lets keep it that way Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
resopalrabotnick Posted December 21, 2005 CID Share Posted December 21, 2005 so has anyone posted anything on connecting to an unknown cisco router? seems not. so let me help you some more. go to the router. find the model number. post what the hell you're trying to connect to. and since there seems to be no great interest in connecting to small business or larger routers here, i suggest you /do/ take that model number and stick it where the sun doesn't shine to the cisco site and look up the info. and i would have bothered to see if there was a quick setup guide and pointed you to that to follow the steps suggested by cisco if i knew what router you were sitting in front of.

ghostmaster Posted December 21, 2005 CID Share Posted December 21, 2005 I use hyperterminal..it worked just fine for me... We used a serial port to ethernet converter with a straight through cable to connect to the console port on the router. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
