Cisco PIX 501 PAT multiple hosts not accessible

Hi - I have a PIX 501 running version 6.3. The outside interface receives it's IP address from a DHCP server. There are two different hosts on the network that I am trying to allow remote desktop connection to. These hosts are "anton" and "brock" and have been defined in the PIX. Anton's RDP port is 4000 and Brock's is at 4444. I just want to PAT the two ports from the outside interface to the corresponding inside host.

The issue is that while anton's RDP (4000) works fine from the outside world, brock's (4444) does not. Also, I am not able to PAT any other services out and have them work except for the one RDP at port 4000. It's very confusing because everything looks right from what I can tell. Attached is my running-config. My ACL is called "inbound." Any help on this weird one would be much appreciated! thanks!

What about the Microsoft Windows firewall on Brock?  Have you tried disabling it?

ASKER

brock's software firewall has a pinhole for port tcp 4444 and responds to requests at that port from a telnet session from another machine on the same subnet (i.e. "telnet brock 4444" from anton works) so it's not that.

I guess I'm a bit confused as to the need of doing PAT. You aren't really doing port address translation here are you? Your defining the ports you are using for RDP yes? Meaning that the inbound RDP session is looking to ports 4000 or 4444 and not 3389 on the WAN side with a translation to 4000 or 4444 on the LAN side. It seems that  you are NAT here and opening the 4000 and 4444 ports.

If you do PAT, it seems, that you would only translate one particular port from it's RFC assigned port number...

I may be off here... But I don't know everything! :)
PAT is the proper way to handle it.  Same public IP address, different ports on different internal hosts.
The config looks good.  I would save your changes "wr mem" and "reload" the PIX.  Something may need to be cleared out or re-applied.
