I've setup several PIX boxes with 6.x and have had no problems whatsoever,
certainly never had to use a port in a static statement.  I tend to use
basic configurations on firewalls...the simpler the better, and setup my
statics first, and then apply the ACL(s) or conduits next.

If you're sure you can't add a static without ports, I would suspect
corruption, possibly the image, flash, or whatever.  Try imaging the box
with a fresh download of the PIXOS.

ok,

this is straight from Cisco's web site for code 6.0 on the pix.

http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/iaabu/pix/pix_60/config/conf
ig.htm 

It does indeed show this example:

static (inside,outside) 10.42.1.0 10.3.1.0

which should work...

I am using Pix software ver 6.0(1) and it won't allow me to not specify a
port.  I seem
to be forced into specifying the smtp in the command line.

It did sound like a good idea though.
