Tech-Recipes: PPTP (Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol) through PIX Firewall | Cisco firewall | Tech-Recipes

  • Fluffy · 5 years ago
    ok I'm a newbie when it comes to setting up this pix. When I add that static statement and the other access-list commands I can get into the network via vpn just fine, but all the computers on the inside network lose internet access. I took out the access-list and still had the same problem so I'm pretty sure it's caused by that static entry. Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

    I've got a same problem... If I delete the static rule, all other computers have an Internet access otherwise not :? :cry:

    Try adding "fixup protocol pptp 1723" instead of all of the changes above.

    you need to check your recipe! you should never open port 137,138,139 to any machine from the internet.

    PPTP uses TCP 1723 and GRE (protocol 47)

    ports 137-139 are opening HUGE HOLES in your network security. Especially if it is to a Microsoft server, esentialy you have told people to open their windows shares to the World. NEVER OPEN these ports.

    I don't coment on much but this is bad networking practices at their worst.

    This is right on, works like a champ. This only works in PIX version 6.3.3 and up.

    The fixup now takes care of translating the GRE tunnel to a natted internal ip.

    There is a nice solution for Connecting a Cisco PIX to Windows Vista.
    Configure L2TP without certificates to seamlessly migrate from PPTP to L2TP.
