Someone help, I am having a problem with my PIX 506, and I am not to familiar with the pix ios, so please bear with me. Here is the problem. I cannot seem to ping my public IP's from inside my network (inside eth interface). I have not cared up until now, but I am having a problem with a few web servers being available to the public. I have several machines that are public right now, with no problems. But the two I am having an issue with are 12.x.x.125, and 126. Cant seem to get to them from outside my firewall, and I can ping them when outside my firewall, but cannot access pop/smtp, etc. Can someone take a look at the config script and let me know why I cant A) Access public IP's on my LAN, and B) Why people can ping .125, and .126, but cant get to any internet services ie: http/pop/smtp?

Here is the config, and I KNOW that I have lines in here that are not needed, how do I take them out? I tried a clear static and it took out all my static routes...any clues?
Also, if any of you are pretty advanced with 802.11 then check out my thread in the TCP/IP and the Wireless Section.

Most lines can be cleared by entering them from a config prompt with "no" in front of them. As in:
"no static (inside,outside) 12.x.x.119 13.13.13.5 netmask 255.255.255.255 0 0"

Sounds like your trouble is related to obsolete entries in an arp cache. Try rebooting devices. Start with the router immediately outside the firewall. Oh yeah, make sure your configurations are saved first!

HI.

> I cannot seem to ping my public IP's from inside my network ?
This is normal. The pix will not allow ping to its own interface from the "wrong" side.

> Why people can ping .125, and .126, but cant get to any internet services ie: http/pop/smtp?
The pix does proxy arp for the translated addresses.
So, when someone from outside pings 12.x.x.125, the pix replies, NOT the host! So if you can ping but not get TCP connections, troubleshoot from the pix to the host:
Can the pix inside interface ant the server ping each other?
Check ip configuration of the server - did you forget the default gateway? Other basic TCP/IP settings not updated?
Check phisical cabling of those servers - is the NIC configured with proper or auto detect link speed and duplex to connect to the inside switch/hub?
Can you access thoses servers from inside?

Thank you for the help guys. LAN/Network connectivity is fine, everything works good internally. Just not via a public address from outside the firewall. I can also ping the servers from my pix's internal interface. I will try rebooting the router outside of my pix to clear arp cache. Any other ideas?
 
Nope, No IP Conflict. I did reboot the router this morning and it did not help. I can still ping the address, and as you say. That is a direct ping to the PIX, not through the PIX. The outside Router is a Managed T1. Its AT&T's, and I dont want to risk breaking into it. So I am not sure if it NAT's or not. But that is a good point. I would not think that they would block them, but I could be wrong. I can contact them and ask, but anymore ideas if that does not work?

Thanks
 
HI.

Try to connect a PC/Laptop directly to the pix outside interface with proper ip addressing and check from it.
What do you get?

Ask the ISP or whoever manages the router for the router configuration and also for assistant with troubleshooting this issue. It seems to me that the problem is outside of the pix.
Take a close look on the perimeter ip addressing, *subnet mask*, routing, and NAT.
