[Openvpn-users] Unable to open socket client to server subnet

["Brett Serkez" <bserkez@xxxxxxxxx>]

I have a straight forward OpenVPN setup. The OpenVPN server is running
on CentOS and there are three WindowXP OpenVPN clients.  Packet
forwarding and static routes are setup so that the WindowsXP clients
can see all the systems on the OpenVPN server's subnet and all the
systems on the server's subnet can see all of the OpenVPN clients.

I can fully access all the clients from any system on the server's subnet.

While I can ping all the systems on the server's subnet from the
clients, I am unable to open a socket in the same case.   I am able to
access Window's shares on the server's subnet from the clients.

This is my second such setup and I am not having this issue in that
case.  I have compared the two, doubled checked the how-tos, FAQs,
routing tables, everything I can think of and I just cannot explain
the inability to open sockets from the clients.

Does this ring a bell for anyone on this list?

I've been using 'telnet system port' from the DOS prompt as my basic
diagnostic tool.  Can anyone recommend a better tool that might
indicate why socket setup is failing in some detail.

I can post specifics of my setup, but I didn't want to do this unless
it would be useful.  If anyone can provide a way of looking at this
problem or what strategy to follow, I'd be very appreciative.

Thank you,

Brett
