Could
be a conflict with IP addresses ... I'm guessing...
-
ah, are all your LAN ips static, and is DHCP turned off on router and
locally for all LAN machines ?
Also,
do the same on the Properties page under TCP/IP for your virtual VPN device, on
remote XP machine
- then
pick an ip address that doesn't duplicate one on your LAN, and is in the same
range ....
It is actually worst
that ever : using bridged connection and tap devices, the tunnel is up, but I
cannot ping ANYTHING (not even my local tap device IP...).
Any idea
what to do next ?

Are you using "dev tap" or "dev tun" in your config

What I've learned ....(see my posts in last week -
"OpenVPN with XP client - can ping both ends but do little else
!")....
....is that for Windows clients its better to use
"dev tap" and implement a network bridge between your real and virtual
Network Adapter Cards on the target LAN
your XP box then becomes a virtual member of your
LAN, and you do all the sexy things like map network drives
etc.
Hi everyone 
I've been setting up a VPN server
on a Fedora C2 box (openvpn V2.b11) for the last, hu, 3 weeks ! The FC2 is a
gateway for our LAN (2 network interfaces, eth0 public IP, eth1 private IP),
and I want to access my lan from a remote road warrior WinXPSP2 box
(nobody's perfect  ).
After a
lot of fights with my server, I did eventually succeeded to ping accross the
tunnel I had created, and I can ping all computers on my LAN from my win
box. Only problem : I cannot map any network drives from any computer of my
LAN... I get the error :
"System error 53 occured ; network path not
found" (well, this is what it means cos I've translated it from french 
)
Do I need to add specific iptables rules to allow network drives
mapping through my gateway ?
Thanks for any advices you could give
me, I would be very grateful !
