You'll need to look at how your bridge is configured when it's supposedly up. Use "brctl show" to see that the bridge exists and your tap and ethernet devices are members of it; then use ifconfig or comparable tools to validate that the bridge is up and has an IP address, and that both of the devices which are members of the bridge are up but have no IP addresses assigned. Also, validate that your firewall rules aren't preventing the bridge from sending or receiving traffic. (You'll eventually want to use bridge-start and bridge-stop as up and down scripts such that OpenVPN invokes them for you). (By the way, I know you'd rather not run a WINS server -- but from a bandwidth-efficiency and scalability perspective, it's arguably the best choice). ______________________ OpenVPN mailing lists https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/openvpn-users Warning: require_once(../../../archive_common.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/openvpn/domains/openvpn.net/public_html/archive/openvpn-users/2006-08/msg00083.html on line 207 Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required '../../../archive_common.php' (include_path='/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/openvpn/domains/openvpn.net/public_html/archive/openvpn-users/2006-08/msg00083.html on line 207 |
