Hello, I believe I have setup the appropriate access-lists, even have created it both ways in case I have the inside and outside reversed. The packet trace always drops through and hits the implicit rule which is deny everything. No matter how I have the access list setup. I have tried it several ways, and also included the nat exclude statement, but the current config doesn't have that listed anymore as I wanted to try to keep the config as clean as I can, but if the exclude is needed I can certainly add it. But none on the examples used it. -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Re: Hello List, a easy Cisco question.

The packet trace button is useful in testing as well...

Hello, I am not a heads down network guy, but I have setup a few firewalls, and have got them to do what I wanted, "eventually". But mostly through reading and trial and error. I am struggling with this one, but I think I know the answer, but want to verify it with some experts. We have a cisco asa 5505, with an internet connection with only one useable ip address (subnet 255.255.255.252). We/they have had a nat setup for outgoing connections for some time, but I have been trying to get a new inbound connection going for terminal services to a specific host on tcp port 3389. I'm using "ASDM" but checking the config file and it's building the correct static statement, and access lists (I think anyway). But It doesn't work, and doesn't give a real good definative log message. I was wondering if possibly the fact that nat is using the one ip address, if that precludes the static mapping from working. I've read several step by steps, and again had this working several other places, but always with more ip's. If having just one ip isn't the isssue, is there any other issues I should be looking for. I'd appreciate any insight you might share.
