Hi All,
Hope you can help me with my little problem. I am new to Cisco and I started to configure my Cisco ASA but I am unable to ping External interface address from Internal hosts.
What I wanna do is to nat internal address with the external interface address but unfortunately the internal interface cannot communicate with the external interface.
Here's the config I created:
---------------
ciscoasa(config)# show running-config

Hope you can give me some advise.
Thanks in advance. :)

Marlon you are actually blocking ping coming in the inside interface:-
remove the below:-
access-group ping in interface internal
access-group ping out interface internal
and re-test.

Hi Andrew,
Thanks for your advise.
I tried removing the following but still cannot ping the external interface from internal:
access-group ping in interface internal
access-group ping out interface internal
Is there anything I should do with the route or nat?
I can ping external interface from outside (internet).
Thanks,
Marlon

Marlon,
I am confused, are you actually saying that you cannot ping the external interface ip from the inside? if so - that is correct and natural operation of the device. You cannot ping the external ip address from the inside, the firewall will not answer/route a packet from the inside that requests connection/response from the outside interface.

Hi Andrew,
Thanks for the information.
If that's the case then all should be working now. =)
Thanks again.
Marlon
