To all, I had a lot of fun with a Pix 501 in the month of March/April. After a few posts here and working with the suggestions received, the problem was narrowed down to the following:
- Initial configuration of Pix, using DHCP on the inside and outside interfaces. - Pix software version 6.1 - I could telnet, send receive email using Outlook, ssh, etc through the Pix. - I could NOT browse the web. - Use of static IP addressing did not resolve the problem. - Even TAC was puzzled by the problem, and they accessed the Pix remotely to check the settings. It was discovered that I could browse the web, so long as I typed in the IP address. DNS replies were not getting through the Pix to my PC. I had/have only two PCs behind the Pix, and no MS DNS servers are being used. Eventually, I found two fixes for this problem: 1 Give the Pix a domain setting. This can be done either in the PDM or using the dhcpd domain <domain name command. 2 I was able to bypass entering the domain name in the DNS suffix for this connection for TCP/IP properties in Win2K. This is located under the DNS settings in the Advanced properties. I hope this post helps others who hit this problem and cannot find a problem with their settings. Looking back, this may or may not be an issue with larger networks that use DHCP to obtain network settings. I was testing the unit before deploying it to a remote office. My thanks to Ole, Mark, Craig, Gaz, Richard, Kent, Lydia, and Leonard for their input.
