Hi,
I configured PIX 501 with PPTP VPN to connect to the small office (PIX FW, Win 2000 Server, several Win clients, LAN IP 10.0.0.X/24):
ip local pool mypool 10.0.0.101-10.0.0.105
vpdn group mygroup accept dialin pptp
vpdn group mygroup ppp authentication mschap
vpdn group mygroup ppp encryption mppe 128 required
vpdn group mygroup client configuration address local mypool
vpdn group mygroup client configuration dns 10.0.0.15
vpdn group mygroup pptp echo 60
vpdn group mygroup client authentication local
vpdn username xxxx password *********
vpdn enable outside
I can connect to the office using Win VPN client, but I can't ping any hosts in the office network. I suspect that the reason for that is subnet mask assigned to the VPN client: 255.255.255.255. ipconfig of the VPN client:
PPP adapter Office:
Connection-specific DNS Suffix . :
IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : 10.0.0.101
Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.255
Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . :
Default GW is missing too, but I think this is not the main problem.
Any way, what is wrong with my config? How to fix subnet mask assigned to clients? Or may be my assumption is wrong and this mask is ok? What is wrong then?
Any input will be greatly appreciated!

Hi
When you connect to pix through vpn the assigns an ip address , a subnet mask and Default Gateway the 255.255.255.255 mask is normal like when you connect through your modem to an async line but here there is no Default Gateway and may be it is cause of your problem.
Can you send your pix configuration ?

There are remnants of old config, I just recently took over this network, some lines look odd to me, but I did not touch what works. VPN config is all mine.
PIX internal 10.0.0.23 - is a gateway for the network. DNS server in LAN - 10.0.0.15.
I've been reading about the problem and came across several posts that this subnet mask is normal, but it puzzles me - how can this host communicate with anyone else if there is no room for other hosts in this network (according to the mask)?!
Thanks again!
George
