Correct, but our 'cisco' dude wants to charge us extra for an 'always
on' connection.

Do you own the Cisco 501 and the Cisco 506E and the datacenter

Do you own the server at the datacenter

We own our servers, We rent the 1/2 rack they sit in. I Only speculated
that our connection is thru his 506E, I am not sure of that.  We are
patch cable linked to his rack because he still handles our backups. Due
to the fact we are linked, he insists (with good reason) that we come
thru his VPN connection so he can limit our connection to our machines.
I understand his security concerns for the protection of his other
customers. Once we can afford a rack mount NAS, we will be breaking that
link. Once we do and I understand we can do a connection using the
standard M$ connection (not requiring Cisco client) to our 501. When
that is complete we should no longer have an issue.

So sounds like you have plans to deal with several of the technical
and business issue  and your "Cisco guy" long term.

Do  you have access to theofficePIX 501 and can you post the PIX 501
config - sanitized of course - no passwords and no external IP
addresses.

There are several very good PIX wizards on this newsgroup and
hopefully they would respond if they see issues with yourofficePIX
501 config.- Hide quoted text -

1st: you are correct. Our Cisco/Network dude have got to go, all we
need is enough money to get rid of him and a replacement we can trust.
2nd: I will try. I'm not sure that Chuck or I actually know the
password to get into the office 501. I will have to do some reading on
this as I have heard the password is not required if you have the
Serial cable (which we do). So I will investigate getting that config.
Thanks for all your assistance.
