Not getting very far with Cisco VPN client software (V4.8) and a new PIX
501
Playing with the vpn wizard in the PIX ; does one take the defaults, generally, and will this work with the VPN client software ?
(I'm using :remote access vpn on the outside, Cisco client; IKE encryption
3des,MD5, DH group2; transform set 3des,MD5)
I know the client works, as I'm able to get into my customer's sites with it (not my setup work) ..I'm new to VPN and it's complexities, and am prepared to spend lots of time paying my dues reading on DES and DH and IPSEC, etc, etc .(been reading for days and it's still Greek) but it would be comforting to run a wizard and get something working...... Cisco's docs are not helping so far.
While I'm at it - the PDM doesn't seem very good at setting ICMP; I tell it to echo work from the outside , and I still cant ping it. ( I know it's there , not only from the sh ip, but as I set netcat up as a server on an inside IP and set up statics and an access list - netcat then brings up a shell - nice to see something work )
