ASDM Won't connect to 5505

Disclaimer: Self learning, new to ASA.
I setup the ASA 5505 (everything via the ASDM) and got it connected and working fine.  
Set route so the inside could get to the outside
Added an object, nat rule, and ACL to allow tcp/3389 through to Server-01.  
Created objects for all the devices I wanted to have internet access, and created ACLs permitting them access.  
Fat fingered the cable modem's cable so I had to reload the ASA
I'm not sure if I clicked on something else, because on a reload I get the warning:
..WARNING: All traffic destined to the IP address of the outside interface is being redirected.
WARNING: Users will not be able to access any service enabled on the outside interface.
*** Output from config line 133, "static (inside,outside) ..."
Now, from what I can tell, everything works; internal computers have access to internet, and I can remote in using tcp/3389.  I have access to the CLI through the com cable, however, I can no longer connect to the ASA using the ASDM.
I "think" the problem is with the command "static (inside,outside) interface Server-01 netmask 255.255.255.255" but I'm not for certain.  I've tried to research how to clear the command to no avail.
Can someone help me figure out how I borked this please?  TIA

Hi,
I presume you are having problems connecting with ASDM from the external network? This would make sense considering the current NAT configuration.
The problem is indeed the "static" command. The problem is that you only have the single public IP address and that is typically used for Dynamic PAT so that internal users can access the internet by using that as their public IP address (through PAT). It is naturally also used to access the ASA as its directly configured on its external interface.
Now that you have configured a Static NAT between 192.168.1.10 and your public IP address on the external interface this means that any connections coming towards the public IP address will be forwarded to the internal host 192.168.1.10. So ASA wont be accepting the connections for any port as they will be forwarded to the internal host.
What you should do is configure Static PAT instead. This is basically a Port Forward configuration for the ports that you need.
So you could try this through the CLI
no static (inside,outside) interface Server-01 netmask 255.255.255.255
static (inside,outside) tcp interface 3389 192.168.1.10 3389 netmask 255.255.255.255
Check that you are in the correct configuration mode though
alexandre> enable
Password: <give the enable password>
alexandre# conf term
alexandre(config)# <now enter the above "static" commands>
What this should do is first remove the Static NAT so that we get rid of the problem in connectivity to the ASA from the external network. Next we add a Static PAT configuration that will only forward the port TCP/3389 for your RDP connections towards the internal host. Any other port of the public IP address (on the external interface) is free to be used for the ASA itself. This should therefore enable you to again access the ASA through ASDM (using port TCP/443)
Hope this helps :)

  • My HP OfficeJet Pro 8600 won't connect to my wireless router

    This is bizarre.  I have had my HP OfficeJet Pro 8600 for about 6 months.  It has generally worked fine, and we have used it wirelessly only.  But now it refuses to connect to the router.  It can FIND the router, and it can find other networks in the area, but it won't connect to the router.  I ran the Wireless Network Test, and the results say:
    Wireless On - Pass // Wireless Working - Pass //
    Network Name (SSID) found - Pass //  Wireless Networks Detected - 9
    Printer Settings Consistent with Wireless Router Settings - Pass / No Filtering - FAIL //
    So it recommends solution as follows: "1 If MAC Address filtering is enabled, and you would like to keep it enabled, you must add the Mac address of your printer to the list of permitted devices for your router before continuing."
    Except, guess what, I don't have MAC Address filtering enabled.  I wouldn't know how to do that, much less check for it.
    Also, before today, this was never a problem.  HELP!
    Thanks....
    If you are interested, here's more detail and background.  
    Before today, the only problem we have had is that frequently our Apple laptop (OS X 10.6) has trouble connecting to the printer.  This has been odd because the printer is connected to the network, and so is the laptop, but the laptop can't find the printer - it thinks the printer is "offline" (even though it's not).  Usually, if I wait a while, it will find the printer, and it will resolve itself work fine.  If not, we sometimes have found that it can fix itself if you restart the laptop -- restarting the printer does not make a difference.   In fact, I did exactly that today, and it resolved itself.  And I printed.  Fine, right?
    But then I wanted to do more printing, and the problem of the laptop not finding the printer came up again, so I decided to really "get to the bottom of this."  I don't remember exactly what I did, but somehow I was persuaded by the online help, that the correct solution would be to go into my System Preferences / Print and Fax, and click on the "-", which de-installs the printer, with the idea of re-installing the printer.  But then when I tried to re-install the printer, it could not find the printer.  Ugh!  Wierdly, it found an 8600 Scanner, but not an 8600 printers.  After installing and de-installing the 8600 scanner a few times, I eventually deinstalled everything, and I decided to start from scratch.  I got my HP disk, and installed all the software again from the beginning (even though it was already there), and then it looked for my printer, but couldn't find it.  So then I got a USB cord, and plugged that in.
    So, now I have a situation where I do have a working printer via the USB cord, but no wireless connection at all.  In particular, since the Office Jet Pro 8600 won't connect to the router, I don't know what else to do.  My Apple MacBook pro is 2 feet away from the printer, and it is connected to the router just fine (as is my blackberry), and I have never before had a problem connecting to the wireless router by the printer.
    Any suggestions?

    There are two things that can trip the mac filtering test to fail:  actual MAC address filtering setup (sounds like this is not the case) and using wireless channel 6 or automatic for wireless channel in the wireless network settings (in the router).  Since it does show failed for MAC filtering and you do not use this option, try changing the wireless channel in the router to 1 or 11.  Those two channels provide the best compatibility with printers due to less interference.  Almost everything defaults to auto or 6 for the channel and this causes a lot of interference.  This change should not affect anything at all.  To do this, you may need to contact the router manufacturer as the process differs from router to router.
    What brand and model is the router?
    Has anything in the network settings changed at all?
    What version is the Mac OS X?  There may be additional steps to take as it sounds like there are two separate issues involved and this could be revisited later.

    HI,
    The Apple IDs from @mac.com and @me.com (Older MobileMe and more recent iCloud Names) are also Valid AIM Screen names.
    Any other sort of Apple ID is not a Valid AIM Name.
    A Google ID that is associated with Google Mail Account (And has "Talk" enable on your Google Settings) can be used in iChat as  Jabber Name/ID.  (Google Run  Jabber server).
    Jabber and AIM are different IM Services and it is not easy or straight forward to add Buddies from one Service to the Buddy List of another.  (As A Starting point consider it "impossible")
    iChat 4 and 5 have links to the registration page of @Mac.com here with a "Get an iChat Account" button in the add (Account) screen  (You select @mac.com or MobileMe and then press the Button - Choosing AIM and then pressing the button used to lead to the AIM registration page but AIM moved their page).
    Apple IDs can be any valid email (or an @mac.com or iCloud registration)
    Therefore you could make a Google ID into an Apple ID.
    However this will not be a valid AIM Screen Name the way @mac.com or MobileMe/iCloud ones are.

  • HP 6520 wifi won't connect

    Just took a 6520 out of the box, trying to set it up/print to it from a windows 8.1 computer, after returning a 4620 printer that had the same problem.
    Ran the setup software. Setup software can't even manage to figure out what wireless network the computer it's running on is connected to - useless.
    Printer can find the wireless network, and when using the wrong password, won't connect, citing wrong password.
    When I use the right password, it just fails to connect.
    I've rebooted my router, rebooted my computer, rebooted the printer. No good. Print doctor software is useless as it can't even find the printer.
    I've turned off MAC filtering on my router, and disabled Windows Firewall. Nothing.
    I have an epson printer that has no problem connecting, and every other wifi capable device I own can connect to my wifi with no problem, from both Android and apple phones to tablets to four different PCs and laptops to my freaking nest thermostat. Why can't my printer manage to just work over wifi?
    I do not have a USB cable for the printer (it wasn't sold with one), btw, so trying that is out (besides, I bought this as a wireless printer, not a wired printer).
    Help please.

    Hi MattMihaly,
    Welcome to the HP forums!
    I see you have a Photosmart 6520 and a Windows 8.1 computer that don't seem to want to talk to one another. I'm sorry to hear this, but I will certainly do my best to help!
    I would suggest you start by following the steps for Windows 8 in this 'Unable to Find Printer' Error Message Displays on the Computer During a Wireless Network Installati... document (make sure to follow the Option two: Connect with the Wireless Setup Wizard under Step five). If that doesn't resolve it, please try the steps under Your printer has never worked over the network in the HP Wireless printing center.
    I realize you may have tried some of these steps, perhaps all of them, before but often trying them in a specific order is what makes the difference
    Let me know how this goes for you!

    Have my daughter's 30 GB 5th Gen Ipod here. When you plug it into the computer with the cord, it will turn on, and charge. However I get a balloon come up that says "One of the USB devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned, and Windows does not regognize it. For assistance in solving this issue click this message." I clicked the message. It shows the Ipod in Device Manager as an "unknown device" and when you try to update the driver, it says there are no better drivers to install than the one currently installed. I have tried the 5 R's step by step several times, and that does not work. I can not restore it because it does not show up in itunes. I have tried it on other computers and it does the same thing. It plays the music she has on it, works fine, but we can not get it to connect to either computer. Her friend's Ipods connect to both our computers fine, and will download songs etc. I also have tried putting it into disc mode to see if it would go into itunes so we can restore it. Same message comes up when you have it in disc mode. I have also tried the "tap on the palm" suggestion, which made no difference at all. It just won't connect. I do have the newest version of itunes downloaded and installed.

    Also you might try forcing the iPod into disk mode first, then connecting it to your computer and see if that makes it show up in iTunes...

    Windows confuses iPod with network drive or hard drive and may keep iPod from mounting or songs may seem to disappear

  • My Iphone 5 won't connect to my PC

    My Iphone 5 won't connect to my PC. When I plug it in to my PC nothing happens at all. My cord chargers on the charger so I dont think the cord could be the problem. Also I updated all my PC software, as well as my Iphone and still nothing. I tried plugging in my itouch to see if it would work and it does! So i think something with my phone is the problem! Please help!

    Hi,
    I have the same trouble. After reading many internet sites around this subject I found the following solution.
    Although apple explained that it is not necessary with the lightning connector to use it in a special direction this seems not to be true.
    I have just turned my connector by 180° and it is working again.
    Hopefully this direction does not fail too. There are only 2 possibilities

  • My iPhone 5 won't connect to my macbook pro retina over bluetooth?

    My iPhone 5 won't connect to my macbook pro retina over bluetooth?

    Ah, sure it actually won't.  I have the same problem, and I contacted Apple Support.  They told me that there is an incompatability between the iphone 5 and MacBook Pro Retina such that Bluetooth pairing is not possible.
    The Support Agent actually had the audacity to tell me this was part of the design of the OS on the MacBook Pro, like Windows people saying, "That's not a bug.  It's a feature!!"
    Personally, I think this is insane.  While I was trying to tether the iphone to the MacBook Pro retina for an internet connection, there are other reasons related to file transfers for which one would want to pair the iphone 5 with the MacBook Pro retina.
    I am hoping this "feature" is fixed in iOS 7, and/or in some dot release of Mac OS 10.8.
    By the way, the personal hotspot feature on my Verizon iphone 5 works great either via a wifi or USB connection.  There are occaisions, however, when one would 1) not have a USB cable, and/or 2) have another wifi relationship between the phone and a network that one would not want to have to "forget" in order for it not to connect to that wifi network.  The Macbook will not find the iphone as a wifi hotspot if the iphone is connected to wifi in the first place.  At least mine won't.

  • My new Macbook air won't connect to my Vizio HDTV.

    My new Macbook Air won't connect to my Vizio VO32LF HDTV.  I bought a mini-displayport to HDMI cable to connect the two.  When I connect the cable, and switch to the appropriate HDMI input on the TV, my Macbook Air screen will flash blue for a second, and then return to normal.  The TV reports it's unable to find a signal.  I use the HDTV as my primary monitor, so I'd really appreciate some help on getting the two to place nicely together!

    Cp,
    Thanks for the reply. However, it appears that the issue is not with the hotspot, but with the network settings in the MacBook Air as every other device I have (including non-Apple devices) will connect to the iPhone hotspot. Another symptom is that my MacBook Air can find my iMac (and other network devices) on my wireless network, but the iMac can't find the MacBook Air.

  • MBP won't connect to external Toshiba LCD, MiniDisplay to DVI to HDMI

    Brand new Mac Book Pro, 10.6.4, won't connect to external Toshiba 40" LCD display. I'm using a MiniDisplay to DVI-D adapter coming out of the computer. Then a 10' DVI-D (single link) to HDMI cable running to the display. When I connect the external display the MBP "searches" for a few seconds, but doesn't connect, and the Toshiba display reads: No video signal. This is with the MBP open and display on. BUT, sometimes when the MBP lid is closed, and I connect the display IT WORKS for a about 20 seconds, then the computer "goes to sleep" by itself, and the display shuts off. Strange problem... Also I've tested the computer with a 24" external Planar display (MiniDisplay to DVI-D), and it worked fine. Also the TV and DVI to HDMI setup works fine with my older MBP that has a DVI output. Any ideas...?

    The adapter works perfect with other computers (mac pro and dual 24" displays). The problem only seems to happen with this new MBP, Toshiba TV, and the adapter configuration I described. I'm trying to find a friend with a similar new MBP, and try it with theirs. With so many components, it's hard to isolate the problem (especially when all the pieces seem to work properly on their own).
