Well, if the Cisco is anything like my Netgear router (ISDN) you'll need to
assign an IP address to it. The IP address for my Netgear ISDN Router INSIDE
is 192.168.0.1. I manage this box by telnetting to it at the aforementioned
address. My Ethernet is 192.168.0.x, where x is greater than 1, but less
than 255. It doesn't really matter, but probably you'll need to renumber
your eth0 to be 192.168.0.2 and your eth1 to 192.168.0.3 and make your Cisco
router 192.168.0.1. Check your docs though... it might be a completely
different beast from my ISDN router. I'm just going by my experience with
Netgear and Ascend Pipeline routers (Ascend makes routers for T-1+ down to
ISDN and they all work very similar to the Netgear ISDN Router.) Why it
works in Windows without an IP address, I don't know. I know that I manually
configured my Windows box here so that it's default gateway is the inside IP
address of my Netgear. The Netgear then automagically spits it out onto the
ISDN line and on upstream to my ISP. :-)
