Note, almost all models of cisco routers are configured the
same. Having a guide for x model router is the same as having a guide
for y model router. The things that change are the interfaces, how to
configure the specifics of the interfaces, etc.
The basics for a 800 is the same as for the BFRs, is the same as...
Here's an intro guide for routers around this one.
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/routers/access/3700/software/configuration/guide/37_swcf.html
If you read docs on cisco, you'll notice they are organized around
topics of a specific feature, not specific hardware platform because
the platforms are all the same, you only have to worry about what
works with what for the platforms..

I'm not sure what you saw? Maybe you have a partial and bad load of
SDM on the router? Or its predecessor? Most 2651s probably never ever
had SDM on them, maybe some near the end of the line came that way out
of the factory. Or maybe the previous owner had put it on there?
Probably best to obtain SDM seperately if you want to use it. It can
run from your workstation. SDM is barely used by anybody using a cisco
router, it doesn't work that well anyway.

How did you get both interfaces with IPs in the same subnet? It should
have complained and blocked you from doing it?
No special cables needed, ethernet cabling is bog standard.
Its possible the hardware is bad, but could be the config too. Maybe
the ports are in the default shutdown mode?
cisco.com has a gazillion docs online that are all relevent, you
should have to read them. Anything intro level or basic will be
totally open. There's also a gazillion basic
how-to-configure-cisco-router books in the bookstores too, although
cisco has the same stuff on their site, you just have to find it there. :(

is a good jumping off point.
