how do you configure PUTTY to communicate with the firewall??? and what is generaly the default IP address assigned to the internet IP of the firewall? I would like t run a "showconn' command but I dont know the Ip address of the firewall! please help.

I have a pix straight out of the box, it works and I have connectivity, do I need to configure it any further. Id like to host a gaming server and need to redirect post 2346 thru 2348 udp&tcp, any ideas? Thanks

@MelLocklear Yes, you will need to allow the ports used by the gaming server to be able to make inbound connection. Look up application redirection for pix firewall to find out how to do this. In the near furture, I will try to create a video in the next fews weeks showing how to setup these type of connections.

@MelLocklear

here is example for FTP traffic

London(config)# static (inside, outside) tcp 80.80.80.132 12345 10.10.10.50 ftp netmask 255.255.255.255

The above command tells the PIX that any tcp traffic that comes in to the outside interface destined for 80.80.80.132 on port 12345 should be sent to the inside interface to the host that has the IP address of 10.10.10.50 on the ftp port (port 21)
