This means, that if you don't plan on hosting anything else behind the PIX for the world to access without a VPN connection, i.e., a web server for the public, you will automatically be doing PAT for all users behind the PIX accessing the Internet. Hence, you will only need one Public/Registered IP Address to support VPN Clients AND PAT. VPN does have something to do with the Registered IP Address, as you suspected. :) Do some reading up and get back to us if you are still confused/stuck. -----Original Message----- From: Ismail Al-Shelh [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Saturday, January 04, 2003 7:46 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: PIX 515E NAT/PAT [7:60291] I have been assigned to install and configure the PIX firewall 515E in my company, VPN clients will access our network through dialup connection, we have only two free IP addresses, one of those IP addresses will be assigned to the outside interface of firewall, the other one will be used with PAT so that inside users will be able to access the internet. The question is do I need more Registered IP address to configure as NAT instead of PAT! Or the VPN has nothing with more or less registered IP addresses?
