PIX 501 and port 3389

Have you write the rules that forward packets from the public IP to the PIX?

The PIX configs seem to be OK.

Alex.

I don't think so... Some more details ? Once I type everything I listed earlier it's all visible in rules (ACCESS RULES and TRANSLATION RULES) when using PDM.

Does the Netgear do Network Address Translation (NAT) ?

That would be fine if the Netgear is translating the destination address 81.82.83.84 to 192.168.0.2 and forwarding them on to the PIX.

What kind of Netgear router is it, and what address translations have you set up on it? If it is one of their consumer "cable modem" type devices (typically goes inbetween a home network and a residential connection) then you would specifically have to set up forwarding on it, as by default such devices block inbound connections.

Can you first do a sh xlate to confirm that translation occurs when you try to Remote Terminal

And can you activate the logs

logging on logging buffered warnings

then "sh log" will show if you have translation errors or access denied.

I assume that you have no filtering in the Netgear box...

Yes, Netgear does NAT - checked using different connection and different PC - I could access this PC from a remote location elsewhere.

Don't really get that: Should I allow logging and then try to connect and after that (doesn't matter worked or not) see the log ? No, Netgear does not filter.

Exactly ,

3- do a "sh xlate" to validate the translation

Maybe this will help - current config, after once again restored to factory settings.

If I type this:

access-list acl_inbound permit tcp any host 192.168.0.2 eq 3389 access-group acl_inbound in interface outside static (inside,outside) 192.168.0.2 192.168.16.254 netmask

// or this:

static (inside,outside) tcp 192.168.0.2 3389 192.168.16.254 3389 access-list acl_inbound permit tcp any host 192.168.0.2 eq 3389 access-group acl_inbound in interface outside cl xlate

should it be working already ? Or I simply miss something out ? Thanks,

I would prefer more technical details as to how the NAT is set up on the Netgear, as I suspect that to be the problem.

Thanks for any help guys. I just managed to get ir t working using this:

access-list acl_inbound permit tcp any interface outside eq 3389 static (inside, outside) tcp interface 3389 192.168.16.254 3389 netmask

Dam, I have same Netgear router as you got. I was about to connect my Netgear and bridge to my 501. I was lazy I didnt do it.

BTTT, if you use only 501 can you remote to your desktop/server?

I rechecked the thread but I couldn't find any information about which model of Netgear router it was ?

This works for now, but you have put yourself in a position where you will not be able add another address for terminal services.

In article , Rohan top-posted, now corrected:

Please do not top-post: it is harder to read, and it means that when someone wants to reply to you, they have to go through the trouble of editting the conversation so that the entire sequence makes sense in context.

In the context of the original posting, this does not matter because the original poster only has a single public IP address at the netgear.

Besides, when you are making a "remote assist" or "rdesktop" connection, the client has the option of specifying the remote port. The scheme used by 'mc' can easily be extended to handle additional ports, including possibly ones that terminate on other machines. For example,

access-list acl_inbound permit tcp any interface outside eq 3389 access-list acl_inbound permit tcp any interface outside eq 33891 static (inside, outside) tcp interface 3389 192.168.16.254 3389 netmask

The server on 192.168.16.219 does not even need to know that the remote system is addressing it by an an unusual port: the PIX will redirect the 33891 packets to 3389 on the internal machine if that is what is configured.
