It like I cant build the outbound connection back to the external IP.

<div>
<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
So this is a stupid issue and I know it.<br />
<br />
We have a Cisco 5520, we want to )temporarily) allow traffic form the outside to an internal server that will not live in the DMZ, but on our actual internal lan. yes I know the risk..<br />
<br />
The outside IP is &nbsp;2.3.4.5 which i need to go to 10.2.3.4<br />
I only need ports 444/445 as well<br />
<br />
When i add an external static i do this:<br />
original:<br />
<br />
interface = external<br />
source = 2.3.4.5<br />
<br />
translated:<br />
interface = internal<br />
Use Ip address = 10.2.3.4<br />
<br />
i see traffic come in to my internal box but nothing goes back out.<br />
<br />
if I add a reverse of this rule to my internal NAt list as a static, it stays the same..thoughts?

NAT Issue Cisco ASA 5520

Hardware-based firewalls provide more sophisticated protection for inbound and outbound traffic than the simple Windows software firewall or the basic NAT firewalls found in routers. These devices implement techniques such as stateful packet inspection, deep packet inspection, and content filtering; and may include built-in antivirus and anti-malware protection.

Hardware Firewalls

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).
