Cisco PIX 501 firewall, cannot access web from pcs

I have received my new Cisco PIX 501 after reading very good reviews.

I have plugged everything in, run through the wizard and all seems good. *NOT*

I have a cisco 2600 router with a couple of bonded T1 lines which works great without a firewall connected

I have connected the crossover lead from the router to the firewall and then a standard cat5 cable from the pix to a pc

I can connect ok from pc to pix
I can ping from pix to the 2600 router and isp dns ip addresses

All lights on the cisco router look ok and both interfaces seem to be up ok

I do not want DHCP turned on, I want to set up internal ips manually and map them to external/public ips which I have been provided by my ISP

I have no experience with cisco equipment as you can see. i have set up many cheap firewalls without any probs but this is not as simple

Hope somebody can help

Thanks

Can you get into the firewall and see the config?
Did you change your gateway on the workstation to match the IP address of the inside interface of the pix?
If you can find your config, don't post it with actual ip addresses or the actual hash for the passwords.

Is the PIX in front of or behind the router? Please post both configs

You can ping and http to the PIX from the PC?
What are you using for DNS server IP address? You can't use the PIX IP for that.
You'll need to post the config of the PIX.. From the GUI, File | Show running config in new window - cut/paste and edit the real public IP's and any password..

Yes I did change the the ip to match the ip address of the inside interface
The PIX is behind the router
the config is here

I have set up my pc with both dns ip as 192.168.1.1 (pix ip) and with the dns ips given from my ISP and neither way works or allows access to the net

Yes I can do that fine

>What are you using for DNS server IP address? You can't use the PIX IP for that.

I thought so but I tried with the DNS ips supplied by the ISP and they dont work either

I have access to the web now!  but I still cant ping the dns servers from the dos prompt, how odd

is that something to do with icmp packets not being allowed back?

Thanks for your help guys, no doubt I will be back with more questions!

I will add the settings you have provided

I guess splitting the points is the right thing to do?


Glad to help! Point split is just fine with me.
Welcome to the pix.  The split is fine with me too.
