PIX 501 Firewall not getting IP address
PIX 501 Firewall not getting IP address
Hello everyone,
first post so please be gentle with me.
I accidently posted this in the wrong forum originally
I only have a BB 4Mb service from Virgin (no phone or TV), which I have had since it was first made available. I live in NE England.
I am an experienced sysprog working for a global IT services company.
Earlier in the year, I purchased a CISCO PIX 501 security appliance to beef up my home net to replace my Belkin wireless router. I managed to get it working and it seemed to give better response than the Belkin, which I reconfigured to be an access point for my wireless network, behind the PIX. The PIX worked fine for months, but one day I had a power cut and since then I cannot get an ip address. I reverted back to the Belkin which did eventually get an ip address, after many power offs and resets. Now I wish to expose a web server to the wild, wild web, but I am reluctant to do this without the extra protection the PIX will provide. Is anyone else using one of these PIX appliances to protect their home net, and if you are, can you give any pointers as to how to resolve this issue?
I have not contacted VM customer services as I had a very stressful experience with someone in a call centre whilst helping a mate with his connection problem.
Regards
G
