Place your switch SC0 or VLAN1 management address on the same subnet as the directly connected 2501 and make sure the 2501 is plugged into a default VLAN1 port.
If you cannot ping the directly connected switch (using a patch cable, with no routing protocol enabled, no personal firewall to screw up the process, and IOS that is rather significant (11.3 or better, and not a notoriously bug-laden version)), I'd say you have a problem with either the port, cable, or transceiver. The 2501s do not sell for much on Ebay, I suspect an old Smartnet could be had reasonably also. Let us know how you make out !!!

[7:48707] I have a Cisco 2501 that I can not get the Ethernet 0 interface to work. If I do a show interface, the line and line protocol are both up, I can ping the routers address from a console session, but i can not ping the PC that is on the same 8 port switch as the router. I have 2 other routers that are configured almost identically...the IP address is the only different value, that work just fine...so I don't think it is the transceiver, or cable or switch. I don't have a smartnet on these. Can anyone give me an idea on what Cisco might charge to repair the router ? Or is there another place that would repair for less cost ?
