- ah, are all your LAN ips static, and is DHCP turned off on router and locally for all LAN machines ?

Well, all IPs in my LAN are static IPs (10 clients... do not really require DHCP ;))

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 ....

Do you mean the properties of the bridge ?

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 file?

 

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 !
