Help requested with setting static IP Cisco PIX 501 Maximus Prime 06-03-08

I am trying to set up my PIX 501 with a static IP given from my ISP.
I am able to access the internet from my network when the PIX is set
to its factory default configuration as dynamic on the outside
interface, but when I set it to static and put the IP and subnet mask,
nothing. Also using the wizard does not work. I am guessing it has
something to do with the NAT. I use the PDM to access the PIX. I am
not using the PIX as a DHCP server.

Thanks

OK, I want users to access the server with remote desktop connection,
but do not want them to have to use Cisco VPN client. How do I set up
the PIX (using PDM) to allow that to pass through if I have only one
static IP. Set the server as a static IP and configure the PIX to
allow connections to it through the port (3389)? This is less secure
but it is easier for the everyday user.

ANY thoughts would be appreciated

But you didn't answer how to do the task in the PDM, as requested
by the original poster multiple times, and later reinforced by the
original poster.

Not possible on the original poster's PIX 501.

>192.168.1.4:

> static (inside,outside) tcp interface 3389 192.168.1.4 3389 netmask
>255.255.255.255

That command and the corresponding (non-obvious) access-list entry
have been posted numerous times before, and could have been found
by googling the group for PIX 3389 . The original poster was
pointed to that source of information.


> I am not aware of any accomplishment

Scott, the poster asked specifically for the PDM steps for this task.
You had an opportunity to review the complete thread from a retrospect
and take your time and answer the question asked -- i.e., the exact PDM
steps -- click on this toolbar, select that entry, go down to the 7th
line, go over to the third column, type in this, click save, go through
these other PDM pages in this sequence, doing thus-and-thus. Why
did *you* not answer in terms of the PDM as requested and reinforced?

You probably would have had to go through the PDM yourself and figure
out and test the steps (since some of the PDM logic for this task
is back-assward compared to what is really going on in the PIX),
and you then would have had to write it all up in terms of
this-menu-bar and that sub-entry and fill in this field and go
back up and over to this other page, and so on -- but what stopped
you from doing just that? You work for aciscocompany, so you would have
access to an appropriate device, so it wasn't due to lack of
opportunity. You were chiding others for not answering the question,
so why not actually -answer- the question?

Did your decision as to the form and extent of your answer just
happen to have anything to do with there being limits on the
amount of effort you are willing to go through in order to answer
a question "on your own time", as a volunteer?
