no one can seem to help. can you?

i have a pix 525 and am trying to setup remote access to it. i can connect but i can't ping any ips on the lan...at all. in fact the only thing it does is connect and get an ip. below is the config. i have added in a crypto isakmp nat-traversal 30 to it that is not shown.

show config

woops. i see. you can only specify it one time. that is silly. i guess i will have to make the modification and clump it under one acl.

Hi,

Yes, you build the NAT0 rules that you need on a single ACL for a specific interface. If you had a DMZ interface that interface would have its own "nat" command and "access-list" for it.

But I am not sure if its really a problem since you can use the ACL to control the NAT0 behaviour. In the newer softwares you would not even be using ACLs to do NAT0.

I am not sure how you would be able to contact internal hosts with DNS names if you are using an external DNS server only? You would have to have configurations on the clients host file?

Remember to mark a reply as the correct answer if it answered your question.

Feel free to ask more if needed though.

hi,

internal hosts can ping ip and host name of all inside hosts.

outside hosts can only ping by ip.

that is the part which does not make sense.

Hi,

As I said, I am not sure how your VPN Client could possibly be told by a public DNS server a name of a server/host on your internal network?

If your internal hosts are not using some internal DNS server then it must be related to the Windows network configurations that they are able to connect by name. But external DNS server wont be able to tell you the IP address of your internal servers on the basis of their name. They simply dont have that information.

I am not that familiar with the specifics of Windows host networks but to my understanding they either work by broadcast traffic or with configured name servers on the hosts. If your internal networks name based communication is based on the broadcast communication then that naturally wont work through the VPN connection as the broadcasts stop at the first L3 hop in the network.

So either use some internal name server to reach the hosts, host file on the VPN Client computer OR connect with IP address.
