Setting up PPTP on Cisco PIX 1

[etaketa]

I can establish a PPTP VPN connection from the outside (W2K & XP PC's), grab an ip address from the pool & that's about it. Can't reach any internal resources via any service (ping, rdp & smtp ...)

What am I missing here?

your ip pool for the pptp clients cannot be the same as the inside subnet

try changing

ip local pool vpn_ip_pool 10.0.0.230-10.0.0.254

to

ip local pool vpn_ip_pool 10.0.1.230-10.0.1.254

or something similar. It's been a while since I set up PPTP on my firewalls, so don't recall it all, but I remember that part.

The strange thing is it wont even connect unless I add the remote clients ip address as an outside host and then click the box that says a static route to the pix outside interface.

example) 24.11.22.23 clients home ip address ---->plugged into the pix as an outside host--->then a static route to XX.299.222.11 (the pix outside interface)

All the clients public ip addresses are dynamic so im going to have to re-plug in all of their address as they change. i must be doing something wrong.

Wish I could offer more then a vague guess on this one, but here goes.

I don't see any routes set up in the posted config.

Mostly you'll only need 1 route command that can handle all traffic and it'll likely look something like this:

route outside 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 XX.YY.XX.YY

Use the default gateway as provided by your ISP for your connection.

I finally figured out why the vpn wasn't working, its because i had to apply a fixup. fixup protocol pptp 1723
now i can connect fine. i also unchecked the use default gateway check mark on the vpn connection under advanced tcp properties and now i can surf the net and access network resources at the same time.
