This is how I connect my 2811 to the internet.

I connect my 2811 fa0/0 to a switchport on my Linksys home router which is

connected to a comcast modem.

I go in my router interface fa0/0 and do a ip add dhcp ---this will get an ip from
10.0.0.0/24..my linksys router

I configure nat in my 2811 router

int fa0/0

ip nat outside

int fa0/1

ip nat inside

I configure an access list

# access-list 1 permit 192.168.1.0 0.0.0.255

#ip nat inside source list 1 interface fa0/0 overload

Then I just configure an ip on my int fa0/1 ip add 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0

ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 interface fa0/0

ip name-server 10.0.0.1 *linksys router
