Thanks guys, I had to fix the problem fast so I ended up rebuilding the VPN config. On the plus side, it resolved some name resolution problems for VPN clients, so that's a plus as well. Thanks again!

Hello, Yesterday evening I migrated our company to a new ISP. I changed the PIX config without issue and everything worked great. The only component that broke during the transition was VPN. When I try to connect in from the Cisco VPN client, I receive a logon prompt, but afterwards it hangs...

Thanks to both of you. I'll handle it manually based on your answers. On a similar note, is there anything else that I should be aware of when performing this switch? When I change the external IP, will it know to change the rules/mappings/forwards/etc or will I have to change each entry...

Regarding #4 above, I mean ONLY to the PLC, and not for the entire subnet. Just want to clarify that.

Some thoughts: 1. First off, I didn't go through your config line for line, but I didn't see a rule that would allow PING communications through, ONLY the PLC traffic. So if you want to test from a ping perspective, I believe you'd have to open that up. 2. Did you confirm that the PLC has...

Hello all, I have a PIX 506e and I'm migrating our Internet connection to a new ISP. The new ISP connection is in place and tested. It has a new IP address scheme, which I will be moving our company over to (changing DNS, etc). I currently have both Internet connections connected to a small...

Hi all, I have a client that can't reach any aol.com or mapquest.com websites from their office. DNS is not the problem, I have found that I physically cannot reach any aol or mapquest site by physical ip address. Here are two tracert results. The IPs used were ones I resolved from my PC at...

markdmac - Yes thanks. See my comment a couple posts above. It did not fix the issue however, it appears to be routing related at this point, although my provider (XO) swore before that they could not find an issue. However I logged into our T1 router (outside the firewall) and could telnet...

Further troubleshooting revealed that I cannot access www.aol.com or www.mapquest.com even by IP address, so I'm being blocked somewhere. I am looking at the firewall, but it was installed before I was here and I do not have the password. DNS on both servers is now responding properly...

Okay troubleshooted a step further. The common denominator is that both AOL and Mapquest are outsourcing their DNS requests to akadns.net. I am able to resolve some names from this host (such as Yahoo advertising) but not all. I'm looking into this further.

Update - cleared the cash on both servers. Both are now able to obtain name server entries from the root name servers, but are then unable to resolve www entries for AOL or Mapquest. On a side note, both the AOL and Mapquest entries in the DNS cache hold name server entries for AOL dns...

tweakmybox - Hmmm... found the AOL and Mapquest entries on DNS server #1. Tried to delete them and it says they can't be deleted because the zone does not exist. Looked for them on DNS server #2 and there are no entries there. It is not storing any entries. So I have two separate issues to...

kmills - Checked the client machines, all host files are clean. Twizted - Maybe you're onto something. I didn't really think of what you said until just now. I have a Cisco VPN/Firewall. I'll do as akwong suggested and connect outside of the firewall to see if that is the issue. Great tips...

Good call Kmills, I checked one DNS and it was not modified. I forgot to check the other one and won't have access to it until tonight.

I did try flushing the cache, thank you for the advice. I flushed it on the dns server and ran ipconfig /flushdns on the server and a client PC that points to the server for DNS. PS: This is a duplicate post but I haven't figured out how to delete it yet. If you respond back, please...
