Browse All TopicsI am having problems configuring a PIX 515e to allow ftp traffic to a Windows 2k3 Server.
The ftp box is at 192.168.101.243 and I am able to ftp from inside but am having problems hitting it from outside.
The outside IP address I have for the ftp server is x.x.x.x
Attached is my config file. I don't know what I am missing.

>PIX Version 6.3(3)
There are some bugs in this PIX OS version. Suggest saving the config that you have (it looks correct) and reboot the PIX.
If that doesn't work, check the default gateway of the FTP server.
Check access list hitcounters
show access-list internet
Highly suggest upgrading to at least 6.3(5). You might even consider upgrading to 7.x or even 8.x. 8.0 has some really neat features and the ASDM GUI is out of this world...
FYI - your global default route makes all of your static routes to the same gateway superfulous and unnecessary. I believe in a clean uncluttered config and would get rid of them.
I would also suggest using a network object-group for your blocked hosts. It is easier to add/subtract individual hosts/subnets from the group than to add/subtract individual access-list entries, and your access-list stays a streamlined 2 lines long no matter how many blocked hosts.
