Hello Shabaz,

you probably need a cross-over cable: I expect both NICs to behave like a PC NIC and no one has MDIX capabilities

or you put a LAN switch in the middle and you use two straight cables to connect the PIX and router interfaces to two ports in the same Vlan

see

Hope to help

Hello Shabaz,

you should verify if the interface is enabled on the PIX side also

what is the output of sh interface on the pix?

Hope to help

Hi Shabaz,

Just to isolate where is teh issue if you have switch just connect pix interface with switch port and see if port is coming or not or from router inetrface to switch port and see router interface is coming up or not and possibily just paste also the show interface of router and pix side.
