[Openvpn-users] new to openVPN

[Roland_Lepper@xxxxxxxxxxxx]

I recently installed OpenVPN on a Suse machine.
The main purpose is to connect laptop users via VPN to our Terminal Server.
The laptops are using WindowsXP as their OS and installed OpenVPNGui on it.
I configured the OpenVPN server for Tun.

I can create the tunnel between the laptop and the VPN machine and the Terminal server.
I can ping the OpenVPN machine, the Terminal Server as also other machine in my LAN from a VPN
session.
I can make a secure RDP connection.
This is what I first wanted, but I want more.

So far so good, but....
I've read that I can see the other machines (eg fileserver on Windows) in my network places. The
problem is that I can't.
I can see the domain listed, but I can't see the machine their.
I can map them via a loginscript on the laptop, but have to specify the admin username and password
to connect.
After the connection is made, a laptop user can't edit any files, because of the domain permissions.

So how can i configure OpenVPN that I can edit my files on the fileserver with the domain username
and password?
I can do this in RDP, but when I don't have a terminal server, I have to give my users full control
on the files on my fileserver and that's a bad news.

Hope somebody can help me.

thanks in advance.
