Re: INTERNET ACCESS AND CISCO PIX FIREWALL

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

A Wireless Access Point behind the PIX should do just fine. A PIX is a fine
firewall/router and althought the 501 is a bit dated, if it's just for
Internet access it should work just fine.

Thanks Robert,

I guess to mean like a wireless access point, yeah?

Not sure the issue. But let me try this.

Since you have Cisco PIX, you don't another router. All computers point
to the firewall as gateway, you should be able to access the internet.

You can replace Cisco Firewall or you can add the wireless behind the PIX
that should work too.

Hi all,

I'm not sure I've come through to the correct section. However, one of
our
clients has a Windows server 2000 setup, with a patch panal, negear 24
port
switch, samsung cable modem and a cisco 501 pix firewall connected to
the
cable modem.

I am actually just wondering where the missing 'router' comes into play
in
this type of setup. i.e. how do all client PCs get their internet
access
without a router installed?

Also, 2 client PCs are in another room and I would prefer to give them
wireless access rather than running cables through rooms. Can I replace
the
Cisco Pix Firewall with a wireless firewall router?

Many thanks to all,
Jeff
