Cisco pix 501 - accessing webserver through firewall public ip

[rcpeacock]

I want to access a website which is hosted on our internal network

basically just want to direct all port 80 traffic through our firewall to the webserver.

see example of config which I have applied below obviously it doesn't work, if some one could give me any ideas why not I would be extremely grateful

static (inside,outside) tcp 79.32.181.4 80 172.16.2.242 80 netmask 255.255.255.255

access-list webserver permit tcp any host 78.32.181.4 eq www

access-group webserver in int outside

I have attached firewall config, ip addresses in some instances have been changed for security.

THANKS!!

Can you ping the 172.16.2.242 address from the pix? If so, you can do one of two things:

Try to run "clear xlate" to see if you can get it to respond.

Or

Try one-to-one nat instead of port translations:

static (inside,outside) 79.32.181.4 172.16.2.242

Then run clear xlate.

You won't be able to test public access from behind the firewall though on a pix. You'll have to have remote access somehow to test.

HTH,
