Subject: [Openvpn-users] Internal Network is not Accessiable

Hello Everyone

I have installed OpenVPN. Here is my sen.

my local internal network is in 172.16.1.0/24 range my gateway is 172.16.1.1. I have installed OpenVPN server on 172.16.1.41 my samba server.
My client is on windows machine. On this I use dialup to connect to my server. I can connect to my server I can ping to my samba server i.e, 172.16.1.41, but I can't ping other machines in my network.

Please guide me

thanks
 
Hi,
 
the samba answers because he is the only machine that knows about vpn. If you ping an other machine in your LAN they doesn't know about vpn IP's.
If the machines answers to a unknown IP their will send his packets to his Gateway and the Gateway have to know what to do. To solve this problem you have to add a route on the gateway machine like this
route add vpn_net_ip mask vpn_net_mask gw 172.16.1.41
 
If it don't work you have to activate IP-Routing on your samba too
