Setting up a basic home network with 2 Cisco 2600 Routers and switch

[techman37]

Can someone give me some advice on how to set up a basic network using two 2600 routers and a 2900 Cisco switch ? Not as far as commands but do I need to use NAT ? I have Comcast as my ISP. Please help me !

we always need nat.

Most of the time the connections look like

modem----router --- other devices and/or switchs --- still more devices

There are a FEW cases where the modem needs to be set to BRIDGE mode, but
don't go there unless it all fails.

Keep it simple to start with [ modem---router---one system]

see this for testing your ISP connection
