I have a small web development business which is run from my home; and I needed a good way of allowing access to my network via VPN when I was out on the road, or for letting certain other people access some of the files they need. So I bought a Pix 501.
Its currently sat idle because I can't get it to work properly. The default configuration is supposed to be sufficient to get started, but it doesn't work for me. We can run the VPN wizard and get that up and running fine, but the default rules mean I can't use my facilites properly from INSIDE the network.
By default - I can receihome download ciscove email in outlook, but I can't send it. Running a broadband test on speedtest.net shows a download speed, but no upload. On iGoogle, some of the gadgets (presumably those requiring to send info out) aren't working.
Naturally, I can't work without email or upload - I'm sure its just setting up rules but i'm at a complete loss. I need your help!
I'm using a BT Voyager 2100 router which assigns an IP to the Pix, and i've put that IP address into the router DMZ so all traffic should be passed onto the Pix.
Behind the firewall i've got a NAS, 2 PCs and a network printer, they all communhome download ciscoicate with each other just fine.
Please help - or at least point me to a good website that can, i'm a software developer, not a network admin!!!
best thing you can do is hire someone to set it up for you. If you are a software developer then you should stick with that because setting up a PIX from scratch is not for beginners. If you still want to try it on your own basically PIX need three things to run....NAT, access-lists, and routes. But, YOU NEED TO KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING TO MAKE IT WORK RIGHT!!!! Good luck
