PIX 506 will not allow MS PPTP VPN authentication

I am behind a PIX 506, V6.3(4) with PDM 3.0(2).

When I try to establish a Microsoft PPTP VPN connection to any outside server, it makes the intial connection then hangs up at "Verifying Username and Password" (100% confirmed to be a Firewall issue, as it works fine outside of the FW or from my own home connection).

I have set the PIX to "Bypass Access Check" for PPTP, L2TP, and all IPSEC traffic in the PDM under VPN - VPN System Options. Didn't seem to fix the issue.

Do you have any access list on the inside interface of the PIX restricting outbound access to the PPTP protocol?
Try removing the access list by doing a 'no access-group <ACL ID> in interface outside

I don't think so...but I didn't do the intial set up. I am looking all through the PDM and I don't see any access rules that mention anything about PPTP.

The PIX is set up for Cisco's own VPN (client) for access into our network, so I am not sure if that somehow screws up outbound PPTP to other servers/firewalls..?

billwharton

It should not.
Make sure this command exists on the PDM. If not, put it in.

fixup protocol pptp 1723

Could you tell me how I add that command within the PDM interface? (as in, where?)

billwharton

I am not too familiar with the PDM but if you can find any menu task which allows you to copy/paste the entire PIX config in here, that would help

I don't see that fixup command you listed.. how do I put it in? I can access the command line interface, if needed.
