[Openvpn-users] Linux(server) <-> W2K(client) all working fine except Samba

[Jordi Sanfeliu <Jordi.Sanfeliu@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello all,

Please send a Cc: to me in addition to the list. I am not subscribed and
this will make it easier for me to follow the thread and reply. Thanks.


I have an office network (192.168.1.x) and I want to connect a w2k road warrior 
from anywhere using bridging (TAP). Mi current scenario is this:

+---------------+
| Linux (IPMasq)|eth0(192.168.0.3) -[192.168.0.1-ADSL-PUBLIC_ADDR-A] -- <<INET>>
+---------------+
eth1(192.168.1.3)
	|
[]-[]-[]-[]-[]-[]
  network pc's


Somewhere on Earth I have a w2k:

+---------------+
| Windows 2000  |192.168.0.27 -[192.168.0.25-ADSL-PUBLIC_ADDR-B] -- <<INET>>
+---------------+
tap(192.168.1.150)


The two configurations are:

Linux server				Windows 2000
------------				------------
local 192.168.0.3			remote PUBLIC_ADDR_A
ifconfig 192.168.1.3 255.255.255.0	dev tap
port 5000				ifconfig 192.168.1.150 255.255.255.0
dev tap0				secret key.txt
tun-mtu 1500				ping 10
tun-mtu-extra 32			comp-lzo
mssfix 1400				verb 4
secret key.txt				mute 10
persist-key				tun-mtu 1500
persist-tun				tun-mtu-extra 32
ping-timer-rem				mssfix 1400
ping-restart 60
ping 10
comp-lzo
user nobody
group nobody
verb 4

Once connected I have no errors. I can telnet, ftp, ping, etc. from w2k to any 
other UNIX/Linux/Windows machine existing in the network office. In short ALL 
WORKS FINE!.

Well ... all except that from w2k I can't see any other machine using network 
neighborhood or typing the correct path and share. Is like if no broadcast 
propagation occurred.

The most strange thing is that from the Linux server in the office network, when 
I try to connect to w2k using smbclient I get the following messages. Look at 
this!!:

# smbclient -L w2k
added interface ip=192.168.1.3 bcast=192.168.1.255 nmask=255.255.255.0
added interface ip=192.168.0.3 bcast=192.168.0.255 nmask=255.255.255.0
error connecting to 192.168.1.150:139 (Connection refused)
Error connecting to 192.168.1.150 (Connection refused)
Connection to w2k failed

Connection refused???

I dont have any firewall installed on w2k. I have installed a fresh windows2000 
prior to install openvpn. So I dont have any special or even typical program 
like msoffice installed on.

I tried to connect via openvpn using dial-up connection and I get the same 
results. So seems to have a w2k or bridging problem.

I tried to connect a linux at the same network that w2k and try to connect using 
smbclient and it works!, probably because I'm using the physical ethernet on w2k.

Any idea or help would be appreciated.

Thanks.
