I'm working on trying to setup my Pix 501 to allow remote users to connect and access services on our internal network. Currently, I'm able to make a VPN connection to the Pix, but I'm not able to access, for example, a webserver at the address 192.168.1.10. My current configuration is below.

I don't see the dns and wins settings. quoted from How to add DNS and WINS into your Cisco VPN server

If your VPN client cannot find servers or cannot ping computernmae, you may need to add DNS and WINS into your VPN server. For example, to add DNS and WINS on a Cisco Firewall PIX, add vpdn group 1 client configuation dns dnsservername and vpdn group 1 client configuration wins winsservername..

I believe the DNS is set. These DNSs are not local, and I'm trying to access a particular IP (ie 192.168.1.10) on the inside network, so I don't think that is the issue.

I'm also networking macs, and I'm not trying to reslove any computer names, so the WINS is not the problem either.

I am confused on where the vpdn needs to be enabled. Right now I have it enabled on both the external and internal. I think when I connect now I'm connecting to the external, and then of course I don't have access to the internal. I had originally used the VPN wizard on the PIX to enable the VPN on the internal interface, and I would assume that would add the necessary access permissions for traffic to connect to it, but it doesn't look like it has. Perhaps that is my problem. Networking isn't my forte, and I found myself wasting too much time just playing...so if anyone can explain away my confusion and instruct me on what to do, I'd appreciate it!
