I know this has probably been asked before, but I could not find it.

I need to set the outside interface on my PIX 501 to a static IP, vice using factory setting of dhcp.

Eveytime I try to change the outside to static I lose traffic to the inside.

Here is what I have done so far:

I use the ip address command (ip address outsdide address Netmask) to change the ip address of the outside interface.

I set a default route to the ISPs gateway with the route command (route 0 0 gateway 1)

I give the inside dhcp server the dns addresses with the dhcpd command (dhcpd dns dns1 dns2)

What else do I need to do?

Yours,

1) Verify connectivity with your ISP.

Can you ping your ISP's gateway address from your PIX?
If pinging your ISP fails do a sho arp and see if at least you can see the mac address for the gateway. If you can then ICMP is blocked, but your connectivity is good.

2) Verify routing beyond.

Can you ping anything further downstream from that?
 
Thank your for the help.

Yours,
Dale Rose
