Trouble getting from dmz to internal on PIX 515E

I'm a complete newbie when it comes to configuring a Cisco PIX and have been trying to figure this problem out for days. Basically, the network is setup like:

62.3.2.x - outside addresses (not my actual addresses, just an example)
192.168.3.x - dmz addresses
192.168.2.x - internal addresses

I have a web server at address 192.168.2.2 in the DMZ, and I can see it both from the internet and the internal network, which is what I want. I also have FTP server on the internal network at 192.168.3.4. I basically need the web server to see the FTP server only on port 21. I cannot figure it out for the life of me, but I thought doing the following would work:

static (inside,dmz) 192.168.2.10 192.168.3.4 netmask 255.255.255.255 0 0
conduit permit tcp host 192.168.3.4 eq ftp any

I am also aware that the conduit command is being phased out. However, it's what the original person was using, and I don't know enough to deviate. Below is my entire configuration (IPs and passwords have been changed to protect the innocent :) ).

... You might check the port usage for FTP, which uses more than the base port. After establishing the connection using the well-known port, it communicates with other ports.

This makes FTP a little harder to control. The key is that there may be more than the one well-known port involved.

Hi hx009,

Firstly - yes you are right that conduit commands are going to be phased out, and will be replaced by ACL commands (Access Control Lists), What I would suggest you do first is have a look at the following url's, which hopefully will guide you to your answer:


I hope this helps...
 
The port is not the issue. I know that using the built-in named port "ftp" is sufficient to let ftp traffic through, because if you look at the rest of my config, this line:

conduit permit tcp host 62.3.2.163 eq ftp any

works like a champ to allow outside -> dmz ftp traffic through. Also, while I'm more than aware the conduit command is being phased out, I just started configuring Cisco products yesterday, and do not wish to deviate from the command structure that a "professional" used to set this firewall up (unless someone responds with a complete answer :) ).
 
static (inside,dmz) 192.168.3.4 192.168.3.4 netmask 255.255.255.255

conduit permit tcp host 192.168.3.4 eq 21 host 192.168.2.2

These command worked for me because I had the same situation as you , I hope this is not too late

Excuse me buddy!! I'm new on this and i've been comparing your pix configuration with the mine (I have Pix Version 6.1 (3)), and i saw one "dmz address" in yours.. Can you tell me what is it?
So i need to open some ports and limit some ip addresses too but i don't now how.

Another doubt... i don't have this line like you "global (outside) 1 62.3.2.171-62.3.2.189 netmask 255.255.255.224"
I get the follow line in my configuration: "global (outside) 1 69.04.09.06 without netmask beside itself ...

Can you help me please???

Thanks for your help.
