PIX 501

s_palazzo · ‎07-14-2004

Hi everyone.

I have a network with 5 terminals with Windowx XP ( OS ) and a Windows 2000 Server.

We have a DTU , a Router Cisco 2500 , a Cisco PIX 501 Firewall , and a 3COM Switch.

We have the office in Buenos Aires , Argentina, and we setup a VPN to a server in an office in Las Vegas.

I do not know what is happening, but randomly a PC drops the connection to the internet.

but the others are still surfing.

I did a lot of test , and nothing happened.

The other day , and idea come to my mind.

I change the IP number from the PC that was not surfing , and put an IP number from another PC that was surfing at that moment, also I shut down this PC to avoid duplicate IP on the network.

When I did that, the PC begun tu surf.

Also what I did the last time I tried, was to power off the PIX and power on, and the PC that was not surfing , begun to surf, this time , without changing the IP number.

Any clue ???

Best Regards,

Santiago.

Hi,

Perhaps PIX running out of conenctions! Enable Syslogs and see what PIX dumps out on the console/telnet session.

Could you share "show version"

Thanks
