Allowing access to port 4899 with Pix Firewall 501

I am trying to open up port 4899 in the CISCO Pix 501. I just received the PIX and did a very basic config. Somehow I muddled through this. I am a total newbie.

I found the following lines someplace in the forums:

access-list inbound permit udp any interface outside eq 4899 log

static (inside,outside) tcp interface 4899 x.x.x.x 4899 netmask 255.255.255.255 0 0

 Not sure if they are right. I subsituted the IP address with my "internal" IP address. Do I use the IP address of the actual CISCO Box or the IP address of the server to which the remote user needs access? I have a remote user who provides tech support that needs to get in via 4899.

Any assistance that you can provide wll be greatly appreciated. I am just looking for a real simple and quick solution. Also if you give specific code to enter.

Thank you.

Looking at your examples, I can see a quick problem:

>access-list inbound permit udp any interface outside eq 4899 log
>static (inside,outside) tcp interface 4899 x.x.x.x 4899 netmask 255.255.255.255 0 0

The access-list allows UDP, but the static only xlates TCP

access-list inbound permit tcp any interface outside eq 4899 log
static (inside,outside) tcp interface 4899 x.x.x.x 4899 netmask 255.255.255.255 0 0

Make them both either UDP or TCP so that tey match.
Then be sure to apply/re-apply the access-list to the interface
   access-group inbound in interface outside

Thanks for the info. Still did not work...basically what I am trying to do is setup a port forward for PORT 4899 used for R-admin which resides on our server which is a x.x.x.5 address in subnet 255.255.255.0.

Being a total newbie - its been difficult for me to get this done.

Thanks.

Do you have Windows2003 Server w/SP1?
Did you install the post-hotfix-fix?
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/898060/

Does your server point to the PIX inside IP as its default gateway?
Does the Radmin server service start?
Are you trying to test this out from outside your network? You can't use an inside host going to the public IP through the PIX and back in...

Do you get hitcounts on your access-list? (show access-list)
Can you post your complete config?

Ok...and you think that should work once the typo is fixed?

Thanks again.
