Also, if anyone has a good basic config file, that would be helpful.

Both answers are helpful. &nbsp;The basic config file will be a good starting point. &nbsp;Thanks.

Oh, by the way, I figured out the problem. &nbsp;The 0.0.0.0 static route wasn't in there at the beginning. &nbsp;I just went through the setup via PDM a few times, and it finally added the route. &nbsp;Now I know what was blocking. &nbsp;

I can ping the PIX 501 inside interface from the client computer. &nbsp;The clients are setup to obtain IP via DHCP. &nbsp; I added the outside adapter with my static IP, but cannot ping it from client. &nbsp; I restored the factory defaults before doing anything. &nbsp;I am trying to configure this with PDM first, then get into the terminal configuration later. &nbsp;From what I'm starting to gather is that the terminal is the way to go, but I would like to get this up and running in the mean time. &nbsp;Anyone have any ideas on configuring this via the terminal or PDM so I can connect to the internet? &nbsp;I am using DSL. &nbsp;Thanks.

Can't connect to internet with PIX 501

A router is a networking device that forwards data packets between computer networks. Routers perform the "traffic directing" functions on the Internet. The most familiar type of routers are home and small office cable or DSL routers that simply pass data, such as web pages, email, IM, and videos between computers and the Internet. More sophisticated routers, such as enterprise routers, connect large business or ISP networks up to the powerful core routers that forward data at high speed along the optical fiber lines of the Internet backbone. Though routers are typically dedicated hardware devices, use of software-based routers has grown increasingly common.
