Pix 501 configuration needed.
I have been asked the request to assist in setting up a network for a local company who has expanded into 2 facilities. They contracted with a provider to connect the 2 sites together and left me with setting a Cisco PIX for VPN Access. I am amature at best in setting these things up.
Here is what I know....
-Network (A) is on 10.0.1.0 with 255.255.255.0 subnet and have a gateway of 10.0.1.254 (Ethernet side of Cisco Router in (A) location) to get to 10.0.2.0 network
-Network (B) is on 10.0.2.0 with 255.255.255.0 subnet and have a gateway of 10.0.2.254 (Ethernet side of Cisco Router and network (B) location) to get to 10.0.2.0 network
-Network (A) has a second port on the router which is a serial connection that has an IP Address of 10.0.0.1
-Network (B) has a second port on the router which is a serial connection that has an IP Address of 10.0.0.2
-The hardware connections are :
AdTran router Location (A)
A Reverse Cable pluged into it and goes to WAN side of Pix.
Also there is a serial connection from the AdTran that goes to the Router(10.0.0.1)
-Router (A) site
Serial connection(10.0.0.1) to AdTran router.
Ethernet Connection (10.0.1.254) to PIX(10.0.1.252)
-Router (B) site
Serial connection(10.0.0.2) somehow connects to 10.0.0.1. (Guessing this is through an AdTran as well.
Ethernet Connection (10.0.2.254)
-Pix 501
Wan side reverse cable to AdTran router
Ethernet cable from port 1 to Cisco (A) location (10.0.1.254)
Ethernet cable from port 4 to 24 port hub
Internal IP of PIX is 10.0.1.252
What I have setup and tested.
-Set up VPN connection using Cisco Client with Split tunneling. Using 172.16.1.0 network assigned when connecting to VPN.
When connected I can Ping all computers and devices on 10.0.1.0.
I can not see 10.0.0.1 (I can if I am on Site)
I can not see 10.0.0.2 (I can if I am on Site)
I can not see 10.0.2.254 (I can on-site)
I can not see any computers on the 10.0.2.0 network.
I am guessing there is a route I need to add but after 8 hours of playing hit or miss I have come to the Experts.
Below is the config on the router.

Who is Participating?
This part is confusing;
-Router (A) site
Serial connection(10.0.0.1) to AdTran router.
-Pix 501
Wan side reverse cable to AdTran router
You have connected PIX and Router throught AdTran router and they are also connected via Ethernet on 10.0.1.0 /24 subnet?
The other item missing on PIX is the route for 10.0.2.0 network, you will need to have a statment like following
route outside 10.0.2.0 255.255.255.0 10.0.1.254 1

route outside 10.0.2.0 255.255.255.0 10.0.1.254 1
I put the route in and the change observed is that the users on the 10.0.2.0 network can now ping the inside interface of the pix which is 10.0.1.252.
The users logged in through the VPN on network 172.16.1.0 can still not ping anything on 10.0.2.0 network.
The users logged in through the VPN on network 172.16.1.0 can still not ping anything on 10.0.2.0 network.
I think your nat 0 acl needs to be more specific in terms of what can and can't get to and from each network across the VPN
Have you resolved the other issues except for VPN?
For VPN, do you have a route on Router A and Router B that point back to 172.16.1.0 network? If so, post your configirutions from both devices.
For VPN, do you have a route on Router A and Router B that point back to 172.16.1.0 network? If so, post your configirutions from both devices.
All issues except for VPN are now working. I had to add a static route 10.0.2.0 10.0.1.254 255.255.255.0
Now the remaining issue is getting the VPN connections to talk to the 10.0.2.0 network.
There are no routes on router A and B pointing 10 the 10.16.1.0 network
As for the Nat 0 acl being more specific could you give me an example please.
Current below
access-list inside_outbound_nat0_acl permit ip any 172.16.1.0 255.255.255.224
My thoughts ????
access-list inside_outbound_nat0_acl permit ip any 172.16.1.0 255.255.255.0
Thanks to all thus far. The static route made a diffference in users from 10.0.2.0 to be able to get out to the internet via 10.0.1.252.

That is controlled by a third party called NuVox. I will ask them for the configs Wednesday evening.
The answer was correctly given and also some additional insight was acquired. Thanks for the help. In that I had difficulty with the vendor I went a different route to be successful. I changed the IP pool on the pix from a 172.16.1.0 network to a 10.0.1.0 network which is that same as the site I am connecting to by using a couple of ip addresses not in use. I was then able to see the 10.0.2.0 network.

Have them add static routes point to 10.0.1.252 for 172.16.1.0 network. This needs to be done on both router A and router B. On router B, they will point to the serial interface of router A.
If they already have it in place, and still not working, have them provide you with configuration and the output from show ip route.
