Hi John, Firstly of all, just recently joined the list and would like to say hi to you and rest of people here. I am looking forward to sharing and discovering the amazing things OpenVPN can do :) Back to the topic, thanks for the DHCP tip. Furthermore, say if I have a lappy running Windows XP and want to connect it to my local LAN (say, 192.168.50.x, dhcpd, Linux server) from outside, using the bridged OpenVPN server. I am on an internet connection using a Windows ICS (so 192.168.0.x) so when I connect the VPN through it, I can still get a DHCP lease (without gateway information, of course), right? Overall, the laptop has 192.168.0.x at the physical Ethernet adapter and 192.168.50.x at the TAP-Win32 adapter. I am wondering if there is any problem with this setup. Would it affect the LAN browsing using 'My Network Place', in both networks (the 192.168.0.0 where I remotely access my VPN and the 192.168.10.0, my local VPNed LAN)? Also, what is a 'road warrior'? :P Thanks guys, Johnny > -----Original Message----- > From: openvpn-users-admin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > [mailto:openvpn-users-admin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of John Locke > Sent: Tuesday, January 06, 2004 4:50 AM > To: Raymond > Cc: openvpn-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > Subject: Re: [Openvpn-users] Multiple Windows clients to a Linux server > > On Mon, 2004-01-05 at 10:27, Raymond wrote: > > >> .. the other taps had to be on completely separate network << > > > > If utilizing bridging, are the separate subnets for every tunnel still > > required? > > > No. > > > Wouldn't this defeat a primary attribute of bridging: broadcasting? > > > Yes. > > Doug didn't use bridging--he used routing with tap devices. > > Bridging is a little simpler.
