[Openvpn-users] Bridging

Hi,

 

I have successfully set up a VPN between two WinXP computers across the internet using standard key encryption.  However, the remote computer establishes the VPN connection fine and can ping/view shared folders of all the PCs in the LAN behind the VPN server.  However, the computers on the LAN are not able to ping/access the remote computer.

 

My network set up is as follows:

            LAN PCs are on 192.168.1.x

            Router is 192.168.1.1

            VPN server is 192.168.1.100

            Remote node is 192.168.1.150

 

The router forwards all information on my specified port to the VNP server and as I say the VPN seems to be working fine.

 

I have then set up a bridge between the LAN nic and the TAP device on windows, very easy to do in WinXP, you just select both adapters and tell it to bridge them.  I don’t understand why this only appears to be working in one direction, but I suspect it has something to do with routing but I don’t know enough about it to fix it.

 

If any one can help me I would be most grateful, plus if there is any further information you need, ie route tables I will provide them.

 

Thanks

 

Paul
