Thank you Rizwan for your reply.

I added the nat statement but still got the same result. Please see the ifconfig/all output of my PC below.

Are you able to ping inside the network ?

No, I'm not.

The only IP I can ping is the outside interface of the PIX 192.168.254.171. I cann't ping the inside interface 10.10.10.1.

Ok, please remove this line.

no crypto dynamic-map DYN1 1 set reverse-route

and try it let me know.

thanks

Removed "crypto dynamic-map DYN1 1 set reverse-route". Still got the same thing. My PC keeps getting the default gateway of 10.9.0.1. It's driving me nuts. Where does it come from?

I've attached the latest running-config, screenshots of Cisco VPN client and ipconfig of my pc.

I wouldn't worry too much about the default-gateway address, it may well be due to old version setup style but it is still does not answer the question, why you couldn't access inside the network.

I notice, there is missing global policy on your firewall.

Below is default inspect policy is found Cisco firewall, which I don't see it on your Firewall configuration?

Rizwan, Thank you again for your reply.

I don't know why that global policy is missing. I've added them and still I can't ping inside interface or default gateway. I can only ping outside interface.

I've attached the latest show ver and show run. I am wondering if you can remote ssh to my PIX  to take a look and also try easy VPN from your end. I can give your full access. Thank you very much!

Ping you ping a host IP address inside the network (not the inside interface itself), a host IP address instead?

When you established a remote-in vpn session with your PIX, please issue show command and post your the show output.

show crypto is isakmp sa

show crypto ipsec sa

Once my VPN gets connected,

1.My PC 10.9.0.150 can't ping the internal IP of 10.10.10.10 and vice versa.

2.My Firewall can ping 10.9.0.150.

Check the device itself at 10.10.10.10, whether Windows firewall is enabled and make sure that device it has a proper gateway address is point back to firewall's inside address.

As far as your remote-access vpn is concerned I see traffic is flowing just fine.

Hi Rizwan,

You're right. Device 10.10.10.10 has a wrong gateway. Once I set the gateway to 10.10.10.1, my VPN client (original IP 192.168.254.111, VPN IP 10.9.0.151) can successfully access the inside network 10.10.10.0/24.

However, my VPN client still cannot access any outside network. For instance, it cann't ping the firewall default gateway 192.168.254.1. I didn't capture any packet on the FW outside interface when 10.9.0.151 was trying to ping/telnet 192.168.254.1 and 8.8.8.8.

The main purpose I set up the easyVPN is to provide VPN service for my friends in other country which has a very strict Internet policy. The PPTP/L2TP/OpenVPN are blocked there. So they don't need to access my internal network, they do need access to all public websites like youtube, facebook.

I listed the routing table below when the easyVPN is established. Please help again. Thank you very much!

pixfirewall# sh route

S    0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 [1/0] via 192.168.254.1, outside
S    10.9.0.151 255.255.255.255 [1/0] via 192.168.254.111, outside
C    10.10.10.0 255.255.255.0 is directly connected, inside
C    192.168.254.0 255.255.255.0 is directly connected, outside
pixfirewall#

If remote-in vpn-clients need access to Internet, then you just need this line.

global (outside) 1 interface
nat (outside) 1 10.9.0.0 255.255.255.0

If remote-in vpn-clients need access to subnets residing outside the your pix, then you would need a nat exemption like below.
 
access-list nat0-out extended permit ip 10.9.0.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.254.0 255.255.255.0 
nat (outside) 0 access-list nat0-out outside

Hope that answers your question.

Thanks

Hi Rizwan,

I followed your instruction but I still couldn't access both outside subnet and internet. See below.

pixfirewall# sh run access-list
access-list nat0 extended permit ip 10.10.10.0 255.255.255.0 10.9.0.0 255.255.255.0
access-list nat0-out extended permit ip 10.9.0.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.254.0 255.255.255.0
pixfirewall#
pixfirewall# sh run nat
nat (outside) 0 access-list nat0-out

nat (inside) 0 access-list nat0
pixfirewall#
pixfirewall# sh run global
global (outside) 1 interface
pixfirewall#

I got a warning when I typed in the nat statement.

WARNING: Binding inside nat statement to outermost interface.
WARNING: Keyword "outside" is probably missing.
