Hello,

I'm trying to allow some specific traffic from the outside interface to a server on the inside interface on specific ports. I've configured some static NAT rules with the proper ports as well as an ACL to allow that traffic through. I keep getting denied by 'access-group outside_access_in in interface outside' though. While watching the log during an attempted connection from a remote computer, I can see the connection being denied by that specific ACL. Here are some specific details. I'm just not sure whether I need that 'access-group' line or what the ramifications would be if i removed it. It seems to be a default configuration as I don't ever remember adding that line.

Inside Server:
PAServer - 192.168.2.200
Ports - TCP/8222 and TCP/8333

Here is the running config.

Code:
access-list outside_access_in permit tcp any object-group VMWareWeb interface outside object-group VMWareWeb log

Your ACL is wrong here.
Format is:
access-list <ACL name> <permit|deny> <protocol> <src host> <src port> <dst host|interface> <dst port>

So your ACL reads as follows:
Permit a TCP packet from any host with a source port of 8222 or 8333 to the firewalls outside interface with a destination port of 8222 or 8333.

See the issue?

External traffic that attempts to connect to the PIX interface on ports 8222 or 8333 will not have a source port of 8222 or 8333. Instead they will utilize an ephemeral port (usually 1024-65535). Now you don't have to add that port range. Instead just remove the access control element and replace it with this:
Code:
access-list outside_access_in permit tcp any any interface outside object-group VMWareWeb log


This ACL will never trigger either:
Code:
access-list outside_access_in permit icmp DMZ 255.255.255.0 LAN 255.255.255.0

This ACL is intended to allow hosts on the DMZ network to send ICMP traffic to hosts on the LAN network. However, this ACL is bound to the outside interface. Therefore it will not work as intended as the outside interface may never see this type of traffic...and certainly not from your DMZ.

This brings me to access-groups. Access-groups are there to bind access-lists to specific interfaces. So you create an ACL thats designed to filter traffic from the Internet to internal hosts. Once you finish the ACL you bind it to the interface through the access-group command.

Another quick note, looks like this PIX is bigger than a 501 so you may want to consider upgrading to IOS 7.x (not sure if PIX supports any 8.x IOS though).
