Don't know if anyone has ever did this before. I'm envolved in setting up a Wireless Network for a Police Dept here locally, and what there going to do is this.
The Wireless Network is done with Tropos Radio's. What they need to happen is VPN with a Pix 501 using Cisco VPN Client 4.x to VPN over wireless unto there LAN+Internet.
So here is the Diagram.
Laptop ---> Wireless Tropos ---> Pix 501 (VPN Support) ---> LAN + Internet
So bare in mind, they are not using internet to establish VPN, they will do so through wireless/bridge to the Outside Interface of the Pix.
So my problem is this. Will the Laptops be able to access the internet on the LAN side of the VPN? I can get them to access local file servers. but how would I get Internet back through the tunnel to the laptops?
Let me know if you need anymore additional Info.
Thanks.
oh, and is it true that I need to have on the LAN side of things, the fileservers have to have the DF GW as the inside address of the pix? B/c in my testing i notice that I got a seperate ip address from the VPN Pool, i could not ping the local LAN Server, until I put the Pix in as the Default Gateway on that server. Is there a way around that, b/c if that server needs to get out to the internet, i tried to do a static route inside to router, and didn't work. so does route inside work like that? b/c remember outside is used for wireless, so the Internet Router is not on Outside Internet. it's on the same IP address as the Inside Interface.
Hope i'm clear on my situation, if not, let me know and i'll try and re-explain
