Need a Cisco Guy

I need some help. I do not use Cisco gear, and one of my clients has a Pix506e. The VPN stopped working on it. When I telnet into the device I have a password that works, but I have no idea how to do anything else.

I was wondering if someone would be willing to logmein/teamviewer into the server, and do the config with me over the phone.

I don't expect this to be free but I can't imagine it being a long process.

I want to see how the VPN is setup and either get it working or maybe just port forward 1723 to the server so I can do it that way.

Ideally want to just get it working.
 
Can you post the config and maybe sh logg? I can probably help, but not really through remote access.
 
I have no idea how to post or do the sh logg.

If you want me to walk through that is fine, but need some hand holding as cisco units aren't my thing.

On a sheet from the old IT i have a username that says telnet and enable password. Then 2 other username/password that list PPTP
 
login in, type en then hit enter, it will ask for a password enter the enable password then type show run, hit enter and copy out the config to a text file and post it up here, remove any passwords and hashes and the external ip

It may be a pain via telnet though.

Posted it, the VPN on the machines use the TCG username and I remember the password for it, not sure how to check if it was changed by the old company.

I would like to get this working, change the admin password, make sure the tcg user only has VPN rights but no way to modify settings,.

I could also make a port forward to the server and let windows handle PPTP, of course I would like to remove the old setup.

Ideally would be better to just make it work, but let me know.
 
I think they will use the network-object for NAT / ACL to allow external support in.

I would look for Cisco PIX Device Manager and see if you can use that.
 
Okay what about the VPN portion? Does something look wrong?

Going through the Win7 VPN it goes through the process but fails and says:

Connection failed with error 2147952460
A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a perio f of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond.
 
marley, what is happened exactly? When someone tries to connect, it just doesn't work? I'd like to see the show logg and maybe some debugs while someone is trying to connect.

debug vpdn error—Displays PPTP protocol error messages.
debug vpdn events—Displays PPTP tunnel event change information.
 
Again and option we can try, as all the VPN is used for is to access a local web page, I could disable the PPTP on the Cisco, port Forward 1723 to the local IP of the server and just setup MS RRAS.

The port forward and disabling I wouldn't know.
 
This probably doesn't matter, but change:

vpdn group pptp-in ppp encryption mppe 40

to

vpdn group pptp-in ppp encryption mppe auto

You said you wanted it to work though, lol.
 
I ran the debug vpdn error, but nothing happens

wait something popped up

PPTP: socket select return 0 fd
Interface outside - PPTP xGREL Session 3 not estd
 
what caused this? Did you have a power cut or did some one log in?
 
This would be how you stop the pix vpn and forward pptp to whatever server:

no vpdn enable outside
static (inside,outside) tcp interface 1723 <ip.of.inside.host> 1723 netmask 255.255.255.255
access-list outside-in permit tcp any any eq 1723
access-group outside-in in interface outside

Would you like to remote into the machine with me and work on it?
 
you have tried opening IE and going to the inside IP of the PIX?
 
Doesn't want to run, just hangs, but I heard Java needs to be an exact version of before

Try uninstalling all versions of Java on the machine, reboot and then try the web interface. It should propmt to download it's preferred version of Java, and then let you in.
 
VPDN is virtual private dial networking.. it's a specific transport type for VPN.

PPTP is point-to-point tunnelling. googling these will lead to enlightenment.

cisco-dot-com. Just sayin,
