int f 0/1
ip address 192.168.20.1 255.255.255.0

Hi Mir Numan,
Are you able to ping the gateways from your PCs, i.e are you able to ping 192.168.10.1 from your first PC (192.168.10.2) and 192.168.20.1 from the second PC? If not, then please try connecting one of the PCs with a straight through cable instead. I believe your network card should be new with Auto-MDIX capabilities.

1841 router

Whatever the router selection, Network Address Translation, a secondary Internet circuitJ to the headquarters, and a reasonable amount of access control lists (ACLS) should be included in its capabilities.he 1841 routers come with three-speed fans controlled by a thermostat in the chassis. For noise abatement and extended life, fan speeds are variable depending on the cooling needs. The 1841 routers come with internal clocks, but are dependent on a non-replaceable battery.

sorry mir, I hadn't read your message properly to note that it is a packet tracer environment. Please verify that you have configured the I.Ps as follows:
PC1 connected to Interface fa0/0 on the router: ip address, 192.168.10.2, gateway, 192.168.10.1 (this should be the i.p of fa0/0).
PC2 connected to interface fa0/1 on the router.: ip address, 192.168.20.2, gateway, 192.168.20.1(this should be the i.p of fa0/1).
It should work. Most of the time it is just a confusion in the configuration.
