I didn't see a response to this so I'll post one.

It sounds like you have the concept of NAT-T a little backwards. By your
post, it sounds like your client is behind the PIX you are configuring NAT-T
on. This is not correct if so. NAT-T must be supported on the far end
device, not the local device.

There are several possible reasons why your VPN connection isn't working.
Be sure the necessary ports are open: 500 and 4500 (and sometimes 10000 is
used) and also make sure the protocols ESP and/or AH are allowed in from the
outside. I usually use "permit esp any any" in the ACL assigned to the
outside interface. You could also try setting the client to use UDP rather
than TCP.

Subject: OT- NAT-Traversal thro PIX

Hi All

Sorry for OT.

We did a nat-traversal config in PIX and ASA.Both are not working.

The scenario is ,there is an internal interface in PIX, which has private
IP.A machine in this segment has to dial VPN to outside VPN server.For this
we have to configure nat-traversal feature in PIX.The client is cisco VPN
client.
I searched for the command and it is only one command

isakmp nat-traversal

The machine is unable to connect VPN.But if we bye-pass the PIX, it is
connecting and working fine.

If i use a public IP for the inside interface and assign a public ip to the
machine, then iam able to dial VPN thro PIX.
I tried with PAT and one to one NAT, both dont work,.
i have sysopt permit ipsec command also in the outside interface and enabled
isakmp in the inside segment.
Is there any other command or any issues to look in to ?

I tried with ASA also ,same problem, version of PIX is 6.3 and ASA is 7.0

Regards
Mohamed.
