[c-nsp] Problem with cisco VPN, help please

Sorry, I forgot to give you my config. I have one public IP which is used by a modem / Routeur ADSL. I can't get another public IP Address. My pix is behind this modem router and has the address of 192.168.99.250. I configured the modem / routeur to send all packet to the pix (I have created a DMZ for the pix so he recieves every thing). So, the pix recieves correctly the response of the remote vpn gateway but does nothing. Why? I don't know, very strange. It seems that the pix "reject" the packet?
 
I'm thinking about upgrading from 6.3 to 7.0 but I'm not sure that it resolves the problem. Also, I have a 3des activation key for the 6.3 and I'm not sure that it'll work for the 7.0. Does it?
 
Thanks again

So, this says that he's generating a response to your MM packet 1, but 
that response is going back to a 192.168.x.x address. Unless he has 
some magic way of getting back to that address, this is a big part of 
the problem. It actually looks like you're NOT being NATed, because the 
response is going back to this 192.168 address.

I think that we'd need a lot more detail about who is being NATed (or 
NAPTed), what system is doing tha NATing (i.e., it is smart enough to 
deal with IKE+IPsec), and what your new external address is, in order to 
figure it out. But the problem is somewhere in the combination of the 
NAT/NAPT, the IKE peer identities, and how you might be doing 
authentication.

Your life will be immeasurably easier if you can get the external IKE 
address of your VPN gateway in an un-NATed state.
