PIX to PIX VPN connectivity issue

Scenario:
Two branch offices. Each with PIX firewall and using VPN for remote access. Remote users at both branch offices can connect properly with their VPN clients but only to their own designated office. We have tried to connect from one branch office to another using the VPN client. We can get a confirmed connection but cannot access the Windows resources, shared drive(s) by either trying to map a drive or using Remote Desktop Connection. We get messages of The network path could not be found and The specified computer could not be found respectively. I can ping the remote PIX firewall from our firewall but cannot ping the same remote firewall from the same desktop PC that is successfully connecting using the VPN client. I put in a route to send traffic to the remote PIX via our firewall but still cannot get physical connectivity. Our respective LANS are on different subnets. I have read Ciscos PIX 6.X: Simple PIX to PIX VPN Tunnel configuration example which uses IPSEC. I want to have temporary connectivity availability for 1 or 2 users to look at some hosted software until we have a vendor installed link. Do we need to setup both PIX firewalls as per the IKE instructions in the article to achieve some temporary connectivity?  What have I not done to achieve physical connectivity?
TIA

If I understand your question correctly, then it is not possible with PIX. The U-turn which you're trying to make is not supported until version 7.x on ASA.

The only way to resolve this would be to have 2 profiles for the user and connect to the respective profile whenever a resource is needed.

Or else, the other way would be; have the user first VPN into one of the office. Then remote desktop into his designated office's desk machine. From there you can access the other office.

Thanks Rajesh for the input. I am just trying to get 2 users from our office to be able to VPN from behind our Firewall  through the 'net to and through the other Firewall into some Windows based resources, i.e. run an application to evaluate it. If I have not made myself clear enough for your help, please comment back.
Thanks
Oh, so you have the vpn users using the cisco vpn client behind 1st pix firewall and you want to connect to the other pix server to access resources?

if yes, can at least one user able to connect to the pix firewall ? What is the stage where it is blocked?

Cheers,
Rajesh

Rajesh,
           Sorry for the delay. Internet access on the weekend is spotty. Anyway, we can successfully connect with the VPN client through both firewalls. No problem. At that point though we cannot access the Windows resources either through trying to map a drive or using remote desktop connection. It is exactly as I described in the original question with the corresponding error messages. From home, not going through a PIX firewall I can access the "branch" office using a VPN and connect to a shared drive no problem. We are having the issue going from one PIX firewall to another PIX firewall to use shared Windows resources.

Thanks
Ok, can you post the sanitized config of the pix firewall ? Both sides.

Cheers,
Rajesh

Too much security ;-) You have masked all the ip addresses and based on that I won't be able to see what is where info?

Provide the config like this;

1. Remove password lines.
2. Keep the private addresses as it is.
3. Remove the last 2 octects from the public ip addresses.

Keep everything else in there.

Rajesh

Once more from the top. If you still need more detail, shout back.

The post you have posted on "ID:20805959Author:bfear3Date:02.03.2008 at 02:49AM IST"


Can you say that again, because I think I'm missing something.

1. You can connect to both offices using VPN -> Works fine
2. You can connect to both offices using VPN and access resources -> Works fine

3. When you connect to one branch office via VPN and then try accessing the other PIX side resources -> If this is what you're trying to achieve then it is not possible as I said before.

Can you describe it.

Cheers,
Rajesh

Rajesh,

           The users at the local BO can login and access their respective resources from outside their business walls. The users at the remote BO can login and access their respective resources from outside their business walls. I can logon from home to both BO's, using the VPN client. At home I am not behind a PIX firewall. I can then map a drive and use Remote Desktop to get to the app. I want.
At work, behind the PIX firewall I can form a secure connection from within the local BO to the remote BO. But, I cannot map a drive or remote desktop to the Windows resources we wish to evaluate through the secured VPN connection, as it is going from within the local PIX to within the remote PIX. If we are going back to what you had surmised a few missifs ago in your evaluation then what hardware supports the software rev. you are discussing? What do I have to do to enable a one way PIX to PIX VPN and shared Windows resources scenario? We may want two way later but that will be setup with a dedicated line, Telco and QOS.
Thanks
Okay, if the site to site access is for more than one person then a site to site vpn is suggested e=which ca be easily achieved in the present pix scenario. I would suggest to go with this method.

1. If it is just one person trying to connect then after connecting, then after connecting, take an output of route print from that machine to post it.

2. After connecting if you try to access the windows resource are you able to map drive or ping using ip address instead of the name?

Cheers,
Rajesh

Rajesh,

           APYR. This is after securely connecting with the VPN client. As I pointed out in my original posting I cannot ping the remote firewall from the local, securely connected PC. I can ping the remote firewall from our local firewall. This is why I added a route to the remote firewall. You can see this on line 1 and 7. I have always tried to ping using an IP as opposed to a name.
Thanks

hmm. There seems to be a problem.

>>access-list Detached_splitTunnelAcl permit ip 10.27.72.0 255.255.255.0 any
access-list inside_outbound_nat0_acl permit ip 10.27.72.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.
81.0 255.255.255.0
access-list outside_cryptomap_dyn_20 permit ip any 192.168.81.0 255.255.255.0

On the remote BO, change the above as below;Rule-1=>Never use 'any' keyword in a vpn access-list

access-list Detached_splitTunnelAcl permit ip 10.27.72.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.81.0 255.255.255.0
access-list inside_outbound_nat0_acl permit ip 10.27.72.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.81.0 255.255.255.0
access-list outside_cryptomap_dyn_20 permit ip 10.27.72.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.81.0 255.255.255.0

Then try connecting again. Take a route print and ipconfig/all, paste it here

Rajesh

Rajesh,
           I will attempt to facilitate but there are politics involved here, i.e. I do not control the remote BO and they may be sensitive to any tweaking proposed by me. I may have to get their consultant or support vendor to enact this and it probably won't happen overnight. I will post any updates as soon as I can. Apologies for the delay. Thanks for your patience.
No issues, lemme know when you have some update.

Cheers,
Rajesh

Rajesh,

           The remote BO decided to call in a PIX expert. This gentleman did not agree with the removal of the "any's" and said they were not part of the VPN pool allotment statement. He opened up the FW to RDP from a selected IP address. We can now get in. I am not privy to what lines he added/changed so the excercise has not helped me at all in understanding what makes the thing tick at all. I am sure you are just as frustrated after going through the process of trying to help. Is there anyway I can give you points without causing some other person false hope in following down the postings only to discover we/you did not find a solution? Sorry about the outcome...
