PIX 501 Remote Access VPN setup
Hello. I am a newbie to EE and a novice to Cisco products so please bear with me. I'm trying to set up a VPN so that people within my workplace can access our fileserver remotely using a Cisco VPN client.
I'm using a PIX 501 behind a Quest DSL Actiontek M1000 modem. The DSL modem is forwarding the necessary ports to the PIX to establish VPN tunnels and Remote Desktop.
I've gotten as far as establishing a VPN session remotely but I just can't seem to access anything on the INSIDE interface of the firewall (fileserver, printers, workstations..). I may be using the wrong technique to access the fileserver?? (The IP address of our fileserver on the inside is static 192.168.0.221) After the VPN connection is established I go to "My network places" and type in \\192.168.0.221 but it eventually times out.
I have split tunneling enabled only temporarily so I can Remote Desktop into my computer at home and try to connect to the VPN from there; I will disable split tunneling later as I know it is a potential security risk.
I've attached I nice little network diagram so you can decipher my choppy verbal description of our network =)
Your help is greatly appreciated!
Here is my PIX 501 config:

Hm, that's puzzling - never seen anything stop working from enabling NAT-T.
Yes you should be able to access the shares in that way.
But I see your point about the routing. You have used IP addresses for the VPN pool that belong to the internal network. That COULD give the server problems in getting back to you. But while I have never tested it, I would assume the PIX to perform proxy arp for those addresses.
The server should likely have the PIX as default gateway. And if you have the split-tunnel, you could try a few things to shed light on these potential problems:
When connected with VPN, do this on PIX (and have a connection to the file server too, if you can):
debug icmp trace
(now ping from VPN client to file-server)
(while pings run, type "arp -a" on fileserver)
What output do you get on PIX?
What does arp -a give on server?

I changed my address vpn pool as I see where that could pose a problem.. I'll refresh you on my current config (see code snippet)
I also changed the ip settings of the fileserver to obtain its IP from DHCP via the PIX as I was having too many problems trying to route the path within the firewall config so the NEW ip of the fileserver DOCUMENTARCHIVE is now 192.168.0.12 and probably won't change because the server is always running and will renew its lease for that ip (unless the power went out or something).
I tried commands you listed above while having an outside client connected via VPN to the PIX and the below pics will show you the results (see pic description to decipher which terminal the pic is coming from)
Thanks

in thhe above 3rd pic the ip 192.168.0.33 is me within our office on the inside network, th ip 192.168.0.2 is the PIX and the ip 192.168.0.13 is another local workstation (probably my boss).
I have a gut feeling you need the NAT-T, but that something blocks that traffic. If you didn't need it, you shouldn't feel any change in enabling it.
How's your client connected to the Internet?
Could you try to enable logging on the client and post that?
Could you also try to run debugging on the PIX, both with and without NAT-T enabled? (And perhaps run a capture at the same time)
access-list CAPT permit ip host <clients PUBLIC ip> host <PIX PUBLIC ip>
access-list CAPT permit ip host <PIX PUBLIC ip> host <cients PUBLIC ip>
capt CAPT access-list CAPT int ouside
debug crypto isakmp
debug crypto ipsec
(now you try to connect client and ping server - then disconnect VPN)
(Then you grab debug output and do "show capt CAPT" as well)
(now "clear capt CAPT" will clear the buffer, and you now enable NAT-T again and repeat)

I ended up getting the nat-t to work by forwarding port 4500 from the DSL modem to the PIX, but in order to get it to work fully I have to make DOCUMENTARCHIVE (192.168.0.12) a WINS server for the rest of the workstations. After I connected the client to the VPN I was able to browse the local network! Thhanks for your help Voltz. Some links I found that helped me out with the WINS server and PIX config are here:

Along the way I also found out that my fileserver (static ip: 192.168.0.221) has no access to the internet and/or outside. On the inside the fileserver is viewable/accessable from anywhere in the network. I'm sure this might be contributing to my troubles somehow, just not exactly sure how. the other computers obtain their addresses from the PIX via DHCP. Do I have to create a route for fileserver manually to the outside? If so how?
After I'm connected to the VPN how do I access the server's files (If everything was set up okay)? Do I just type in the fileservers local address in the address bar? \\192.168.0.221 ?
Thanks
