pix 515 experts i need help. VPN issues
Ok here is my situation. I set up a little home server and im trying to vpn to it from work. Ive had numerous people connect to it, but i cannot. I keep getting the 721 error. I know its a firewall issue on my end.
My firewall is a cisco px 515
I believe the answer is fixup protocol pptp 1723 but when i do this i get this "bad protocol pptp"
Im not sure what OS i have loaded. How would i find that? Any ideas

Yes, you will need to update your PIX OS to version 6.3 or higher...that's when Cisco introduced support for PPTP passthrough. If you're using PPTP, then I don't know of a way around it.

Ok so any idea how i go about updating the pix? Thanks
You will need to have a Cisco user login which comes with the Smartnet maintenance contract that you can purchase for the PIX in order to download the 6.3 code. Do you have one?

Ugh no!! Dang I think i need to call in a professional for this one. lol. Our pix is about7 years old and has been in a dusty dirty closet the whole time. Im thinking about getting a new one. Any ideas?
