The 10.99.99.x is the network connected to the internal interface.

The 10.99.64.x is the network on the external interface.

I cannot connect to the internal interface from 10.99.64.50 and have no idea why. I hope the cut down, and IP changed config below is enough to show what I am trying to do.


interface ethernet0 auto
interface ethernet1 auto
ip address outside 10.99.64.5 255.255.254.0
ip address inside 10.99.99.1 255.255.255.0
nat (inside) 0 10.99.99.0 255.255.255.0 0 0
static (inside,outside) 10.99.99.50 10.99.99.50 netmask 255.255.255.255 0 0
telnet 10.99.64.50 255.255.255.255 inside
telnet timeout 5

Your telnet line is not right "telnet 10.99.64.50 255.255.255.255 inside", looking at your config 10.99.64.x is assigned to the outside interface


Hope that helps
 
You may also have to put in an access rule once the inside part is changed to outside. I was having the same problem; but figured it out. I will look at my config.
 
Both of the above are dead on. You might have also forgot to set a telnet password - It's not the same as the enable password.
passwd [Password]

I actually have the telnet line correct on the real config, I messed it up trying to change the IP's in my config. I apologize for that.

Judgestone I would appreciate seeing what you added.

I 'assume' I don't need a telnet password as I can telnet to the pix from inside the firewall network. (Line is removed that enables that from this post to reduce complexity)

You don't have a line that is like
passwd [password] encrypted
in the config??? It should be right under the enable password line in the config on 6x and under the last interface on 7x. You shouldn't be able to telnet or SSH without it.

Yup,
enable password blah encrypted
passwd blah encrypted
