Port forwarding to internal subnet
I have a PIX 506E securing access to a subnet visible externally. NAT is not being used. I would like to know how to do port forwarding. For example, I would like to allow ssh to several computers in the internal network but not all of them.

This does not appear to work. I still cannot get ssh to work from outside to the internal computer. I need to be able to do ssh from anywhere on the internet through to the internal computer.
The external IP on the PIX is 131.170.253.xxx and the internal IP of the computer I'm trying to connect to is 131.170.68.xxx
I appreciate your help

You're not using NAT? Are you using NAT 0, or how do you have your translation exemption configured? It would probably be easier for you to just post your sanitized config so I can give you a better solution.

Here is the config file without passwords. I'm trying to get ssh through to 131.170.68.108 and cannot ge this to work. I'm trying to do it without NAT.

I appreciate your help. This works. I will now consider what the commands are doing and see if I can make further changes.
May I ask if you can see why I cannot telnet to the PIX from outside. I would like to do this as the PDM keeps timing out every minute or so and I have to continually re-open the internet explorer - java PDM tool.

You cannot use telnet to get to the PIX on the outside interface, unless the traffic is protected by an IPSEC tunnel. This was implemented as a security feature. You can use telnet on any of the other interfaces without the traffic being in an IPSEC tunnel, but not the outside. You can use SSH to the outside interface, however, since SSH is encrypted traffic. You can use something like PuTTY as an SSH client. Get it here:
http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html
You will also need to use the "ssh" command in the PIX config to specify the source IP address you are coming from. So, if you wanted to allow SSH from any external IP address (not recommended, but you may not have a static public to lock it down to), then you would do this:
ssh 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 outside
As far as the PDM timing out, my understanding is that it is a bug in the Java code on the PIX as well as the version of Java you are using on the client. What version of Java do you have loaded on the client that is timing out?

On my PC I have Java Standard Version 1.6.0_03
The PDM is v 3.0(3)
The PIX is version 6.3(4)
I don't have a Cisco support plan so I cannot upgrade the IOS.
Thank you for letting me know about telnet. I will use putty and ssh. The PDM timeout is driving me silly so I need an alternative.
Interesting the commands that fixed this problem cannot be set using the PDM, as I cannot find any changes to the settings in it prior to setting the two commands you offered using the CLI.
regards, Mark

The route command should be found in the PDM under "Configuration - System Properties", then on the left, click on Routing, then choose "Static Route". The route should have been listed there, although you won't see it now since you removed it with the CLI...:)
The nat commnad should have been found under "Configuration - Translation Rules", then click the "Translation Exemption Rules" radio button.
I would try actually downgrading your version of Java to 1.4.2 to see if that helps with the timeout issue, if you're interested. I've read where that can help although I haven't personally verified that myself.
Good luck!
