Hey guys, I was hoping you could critique my PIX config. I am playing with this at home. Just basic internet and email. No games, file sharing, etc. Just basic home use.

Thanks!

DNS entry for outside or inside?

Everything appears to be working as far as I can tell. Correct me if I am wrong, but the outside interface obtains DNS info from my ISP. And clients connected inside have their DNS pointing at the PIX.
 
yes, dhcpd auto_config should automatically get dns/wins from the outside interface.

what are you using for managemnt? dont use telnet (even though its not allowed on an outside interface) and enable ssh. generate an rsa key and set the inside/outside accessible networks.

ca gen rsa key 2048
ssh 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.255 inside
ssh timeout 60
ca save all
 
I was doing everything thru the console cable.

I will scope out the settings you recommended.

Good, then kill the http enable for the GUI.

Any access lists?

I don't think telnet is enabled, it just has the timeout setting.
When I do a "show telnet" it doesnt return. When I do "no telnet" it says the host is not configured.
