The problem is that I can't. IMHO Windows hosts exchange information about file shares through broadcasts. So since you are using a routing instance in between (openvpn) you don't get the broadcasts on the other side of the tunnel. Either you use tap instead of tun (I don't like that) or you access the shares by IP address (Start/Run/"\\10.0.0.1\c$" or something like that). > After the connection is made, a laptop user can't edit any files, > because of the domain permissions. I'm not sure how well it works if you are using a real login domain. The broadcast issue applies at least when you use a "wild" Windows network. Perhaps some more Windows-affine admins have more valuable hints.
