I have a client where their backoffice network is behind a PIX 515 with multiple interfaces. &nbsp;We are currently able to establish a VPN using the Cisco client to their network from the outside. &nbsp;We just setup a wireless network that we want separated from the internal network but still have internet access. &nbsp;We put that on its own interface on the PIX. &nbsp;Everything works except when we are connected to the wireless network and want to VPN into the backoffice network on the other interface using the public IP on the PIX. &nbsp;We can successfully VPN to other networks through the wireless, so there is nothing restricting outgoing traffic. &nbsp;Is there something specific that needs to be configured to allow you to VPN from one interface to another?<br />

I would prefer not to post the config file for security reasons, but I can post certain sections of it upon request.<br />

Thanks.

Use Cisco VPN client to establish VPN from one interface to another on same PIX

Cisco PIX is a dedicated hardware firewall appliance; the Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance (ASA) is a firewall and anti-malware security appliance that provides unified threat management and protection the PIX does not. Other Cisco devices and systems include routers, switches, storage networking, wireless and the software and hardware for PIX Firewall Manager (PFM), PIX Device Manager (PDM) and Adaptive Security Device Manager (ASDM).

A virtual private network (VPN) is a network that uses a public telecommunication infrastructure, such as the Internet, to provide remote offices or travelling users access to a central organizational network securely. VPNs encapsulate data transfers using secure cryptographic methods and other security mechanisms to ensure that only authorized users can access the network and that the data cannot be intercepted.
