I have a {should be} very simple setup. PIX 501 with PPPoE on outside interface, 3 inside clients using PAT and 1 inside client that I am attempting to use a static address mapping on to permit communication with this host from the outside using a particular service. I have done many of these before where there was a ADSL router in front of the PIX but this is the first where I have used the PIX as the PPPoE client. Whenever I use the static NAT for the one host it loses all connectivity beyond the PIX outside interface. When I get rid of the static mapping it goes through PAT just fine. I have spent several hours trouble-shooting this and checking many of the obvious things but I am at a loss right now ... unless it might be an issue with the IP address that was assigned by the ISP for use with the static NAT. Any thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated.
It is working now. Many thanks to you and all for your assistance! I am positive that the ISP is not routing that other IP correctly. But ... kind of a moot point now. I have never used a static like that on an interface before. Glad to learn about it.
