When I try to establish a VPN connection I get the following error message:

"Secure VPN Connection terminated locally by the Client"
"Reason 403: Unable to contact the security gateway."

I am however able to ping the public interface on the PIX from a remote site.

I have configured the PIX as follows:

PIX Version 6.2(1)
nameif ethernet0 outside security0
nameif ethernet1 inside security100
enable password OnTrBUG1Tp0edmkr encrypted

[OK]


any comments or suggestions??

Thanks in Advance!

 
Try the following on the Pix when you attempt to connect:


debug crypto isakmp
debug cryptp ipsec
term mon



Post the output.
 
FrankieATX,

It's been a while, but give this a try - add local authentication and usernames/passwords for the VPN accounts.

crypto map mymap client authentication LOCAL
username [name] password [password] privilege [#]

I noticed that your external address is DHCP, just do a double check that you still have the address you think you do. I haven't tried giving the vpn ip pool the same subnet as the internal network - this shouldn't affect the inital VPN tunnel setup but that may be a future problem after you get connected.

Good point. Also create a sep. pool for your VPN Clients. Youll need to add some no nat rules. If you need help just post.
