PIX Config - no outbound traffic

[steveb2004]

The attached file is the config on a new PIX 501. The inbound translation works but there is no outbound access. The routing and ip scheme is identical to the firewall that it is to replace. Can you see the problem ?

You don't seem to have a IP address for your outside interface!!

From your supplied config:

no ip address outside

ip address inside 192.168.16.3 255.255.255.0

Also, you can setup the global statement as:

global (outside) 1 interface

nat (inside) 1 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 0 0

Apart from that all looks good. Please remember to issue clear xlate after modifying the glabal statement above and save with: write mem

Hope this helps, if it does then please rate the post.

Even with the external interface IP inlcuded it did not work. After I changed the outbound translation to the interface instead of another available IP and it did work. (But I have others that don't use the interface-IP for tranlation and they work - so that remains a mystery.

Thanks for your help
