Unable to ping External interface address from Internal hosts

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.

HTH>

Hi Andrew,

Thanks for the information.

If that's the case then all should be working now. =)

Thanks again.

Marlon
