Here is the situation. I am trying to allow a VPN connection from the outside of a PIX Firewall to a Windows 2003 Server which is the VPN server. In the same LAN where the Windows 2003 Server is located there is another server. Server A, I am trying to SSH into Server A after I make a VPN connection to the Windows 2003 Server. However, after I make the VPN connection and I try to SSH into Server A I get a connection timeout error. I am able to connect to the VPN server. But after I connect to the VPN Server, I do not have access to Server A using SSH. What could I be doing wrong?
Thank You

You cannot use PAT for PPTP, you need to use NAT. PPTP requires 2 things, tcp 1723 and GRE, GRE cannot be PAT'd, it needs a allowed to a one-to-one NAT. Where you only have a single IP you will need to setup the PPTP on the Pix.

All right, I changed a few things on the PIX, and I configured the PIX as a VPN PPTP Server. From the client side I able to connect to the VPN Server. However, when I connect to VPN Server I should have access to the local LAN of the VPN Server. However, when I try to simply SSH into the PIX or another workstation(AIX Box) on the LAN I am not able. The other workstations that are on the same LAN as the VPN server I can establish communication.
