you need a static statment for the VPN client computer in the pix

the vpn cannot traverse a PAT configuration
there for you need a special NAT configuration for that host (the ststic statment)

so like
static (inside,outside) PUBLIC_IP PVT_IP netmask 255.255.255.255 0 0

Depending on the VPN software you may need some ACL's to allow the return traffic


hope that helps
 
HI.

In addition to previous answer, you will need either:
A "static" rule for the workstations that initiates VPN, and a rule for inbound GRE or ESP traffic (depending on the type of VPN).

OR:
Upgrade your pix to latest version 6.3x which has limitted (single session as far as I know) support for both ESP or PPTP over PAT:
Cisco PIX Firewall Release Notes Version 6.3
