I have two seperate clients setup on cisco pix501s.

One of the employees works for both companies and needs vpn access to the other site. I would rather not setup a point to point vpn between the two routers.

I am having trouble initiating the connection from behind the pix firewall. It just doesn't connect, no errors pop up. I have tested the connection successfuly from a connection not behind a firewall.

Is there a certain command I need to run to allow this? Are there certain ports I need to allow?

Thanks in advance!
 
Make sure this command is in your configuration ...

sysopt connection permit-ipsec
 
If you are using IPSEC - Check to make sure Nat traversal is enabled on both ends.

Have you checked the log at the client? If it doesnt connect to the remote pix check your access rules.
