The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Migrating from D-Link router to PIX 506E and minimizing downtime (With multiple outside ip-addresses)

Asked by rbeemsterboer in Network Routers

Tags: router, vpn

Hi,

Our company has two sites, our main Office is in the Netherlands and the other is in China.
A goal that we have, is to set up a ipSec VPN tunnel between 2 PIX devices, so we can share network resources.

They gave me a list of 5 ip addressen, ranging from xxx.xxx.xxx.98 to xxx.xxx.xxx.102 and that's it.
Currently there is a working internet connection using a fibre connecting and d-link router DI-804HV

The d-link router has the following static settings:
Connection  Static IP  
IP Address xxx.xxx.xxx.101  
Subnet Mask 255.255.255.248
Gateway xxx.xxx.xxx.97
Domain Name Server 61.147.37.1

Our plan is to migrate to the Cisco PIX 506E and then connect that device to our PIX 515E at our Main office as you can see  in our drawing here http://www.hollandmechanics.com/Network-Situation-HM---HMC.gif

The network in China has been setup now for the right subnet to join the networks, it is now ready to connect to the other site without conflicts in ip adresses.
A temporary switch has been placed behind the d-link and the PIX, that is only used for migrating.
As you can see, the D-link router has xxx.xxx.xxx.101 as its outside adres and the PIX Outside interface is on xxx.xxx.xxx.100
With the 5 ip addresses that we have, i guess it should be possible to access the internet with multiple devices....
But only the d-link router can access internet now!!

When i ping from the PIX to the internet there is no respons (ie. ip address of www.yahoo.com, www.sophos.com)
Only when i ping the following ip addresses, it responds:
xxx.xxx.xxx.97 (Gateway as set in the d-link router)
xxx.xxx.xxx.100 (Outside Intf. PIX)
xxx.xxx.xxx.101 (D-Link router)

This is the current PIX configuration:

as you might understand, as i noted earlyer...
the internet connection works from behind the d-link
but the PIX doen't show any sign that i could connect to the internet , though it can PING to the outside address of the d-link router and with the defaultroute address.

Does anyone know how to solve this bizzare situation?
