RE: [Openvpn-users] Windows XP client --> Proxy --> Windows 2003 Server

["Claudio Rodrigues" <crodrigues@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I do not think so. Another post from a user that has it working (he can successfully ping the machines) was:

== BEGIN ==

Work Machine is	W2K behind firewall, with a routable IP Address
Config file:
	remote <ip of home machine>
	port 5800
	dev tap
	ifconfig 10.3.0.1 255.255.255.0
	secret key.txt
	comp-lzo
	verb 4
	mute 10


Home Machine: W2K, routable IP Address
Config file:
	remote <ip of work machine>
	port 5800
	dev tap
	ifconfig 10.3.0.2 255.255.255.0
	secret key.txt
	comp-lzo
	verb 4
	mute 10

I start them both up. I can ping both ways, and VNC works across the VPN. 
But I can't map any drives.
	NET USE * \\10.3.0.1\Shared * /USER:<my_userid>
results in:
	System error 53 has occurred.
	The network path was not found.

What am I missing?

Thanks!

Exactly the same as I am trying but I need to use TCP as I am behind a proxy and the --http-proxy does not support UDP of course.
Unless the documentation is wrong and when using TCP you must use ifconfig with the start/end points as you suggested. But I guess that is not the case.

Portando, nada para dar risada. :-)

First wrong parameter found:

ifconfig thisvpnlink remotevpnlink

You wrongly filled with the netmask...

Please, RTMF...

HTH,
