Basic Internet Routing Configuration Help -- Cisco 2811

Question

Hi everyone,
I want to start by saying that I brought a Cisco 2811 Router to use at home and to practice advanced networking with. So far, I believe I've configured everything as it should be, however, I am not getting any internet connection.
DHCP is set up and working properly, I can lease addresses without issue.
Both interfaces are configured, fe0/1 with a static IP, and fe0/0 as a DHCP client.
I have connected fe0/0 directly to the Cable modem and it acquires an IP without issue. Connecting my laptop directly into fe0/1 allows my laptop to lease an IP from the router's DHCP server. So I know everything up to there is working properly. I've set up NAT as best I can with what I know, but I am still not getting the router to provide internet access. 
The following is my Router's Configuration. Does anything seem to be missing? I used Configuration Professional to set it up.

Does anything seem amiss? Thank you all in advance for your help!

Hi Again,
I sent
dhcp pool Network
default-router 192.168.100.1
to the router and wrote it to config. I still didn't have internet access at first, so I followed John's tip and hooked up my machine to an old Catalyst 2849G switch I had laying around. The switch has no settings, just gets an ip from the router and does its own thing. After doing so, I do now have internet access. I'm using it to post this reply in fact.
Here are the results of ipconfig /all on my Ethernet NIC on my machine before even having the switch:
Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection:

It seems everything was working as it should, but I didn't have internet access and windows still reported it as an unknown network.
After hooking up my Switch, Windows reported seeing 'Network' (From my router's host name, I presume?) and once I reset the modem, I had internet access. 
This was a huge learning experience and I am glad to have help from all of you. Is there anything else I can to do optimize my configurations? Also, why didn't I have internet access when directed hooked up to FastEthernet0/1 even though my machine acquired IP's and DNS info?
Here is another copy of the running config with today's changes:

Let me know if there is anything else you guys need or I should do, I'll be back after classes today. Thanks again!
