Hey guys, we just switched ISPs and all is well except for client side VPN. First off, the clients are using a DNS name to connect and are resolving correctly to our new outside IP. <br />
<br />
I have heard mixed reviews that the public IP info is somehow built into the encryption algorhytm. So if your outside IP changes, you must reconfigure VPN on the PIX. Is there any truth to this? I can't figure out what else it could be. All I did was change the outside IP and default route. <br />
<br />
Also, How old is this config:<br />
<br />
PIX: 6.3(3) <br />
PDM:3.0(1)<br />
<br />
Do I need a Cisco support contract to get an update? <br />
<br />
Thanks!<br />
<br />

Software firewalls, also known as host-based firewalls, provide a layer of software on one host that controls network traffic in and out of that single machine. Most operating systems now include firewall software, but many available software firewalls include central distribution, antivirus systems and disaster recovery.
