Pix with pptp client pass through to another Pix pptp server

[francoso]

I got the following error message when using WinXP pptp client connect to another Pix pptp server through the local Pix. pptp tunnel can't establish.

What is the possible reason?

PAT does not support pptp?

305006: regular translation creation failed for protocol 47 src inside:192.168.0.175 dst outside:210.177.134.25

Franco,

I've found that PPTP does not work over PAT, but will work over NAT - if you have sufficient IP addresses available, set up a second outbound NAT pool to be used by the PCs that need to use PPTP.

The other alternative is to wait for PIX OS 6.3, install that on the remote PIX and use the Cisco VPN client to connect to the remote PIX.

How can I know what new feature that OS 6.3 will have ?

Take a look in the thread titled "pix 6.3 - vlan support feature." That lists all the new features that will (should?) be in 6.3
