Hello everyone! I'm very new to OpenVPN and I have a problem getting OpenVPN with a DHCP to work. At first some background informations which are maybe needed. I downloaded the current "OpenVPN 1.5-beta6" packages (TAR sources for the Linux server and the installer for the Win2k clients). I also downloaded the current version of LZO (1.08) and compiled/installed it on the Linux machine to be able to compile the OpenVPN sources. OpenSSL is used in version 0.9.6i. I also installed the "bridge-utils" 0.9.6-2 to be able to enable ethernet bridging. The Linux server uses the 2.4.20 kernel (SuSE 8.2) and two ethernet adapters. eth0 is pointing to the intranet and eth1 is pointing to the internet (ADSL modem) with a dynamic IP. As firewall I use SuSEFirewall2 and the following three lines were added to the custom script. iptables -A INPUT -i tap+ -j ACCEPT iptables -A INPUT -i br0 -j ACCEPT iptables -A FORWARD -i br0 -j ACCEPT Bridging on eth0 (br0) is active by using the a slightly modified script from the "INSTALL-win32.txt" help file. If I use a fixed IP for the "my-tap" device on the Win2k clients it works very well. But if I try to use the DCHP running on the Linux server (to which I want connect via OpenVPN) the "my-tap" gets no correct IP address (0.0.0.0) and _nothing_ is working. The DHCP gives the clients normally an IP address in the range of 192.168.0.100 to 192.168.0.199 with netmask 255.255.255.0. Any idea why DHCP is not working with OpenVPN? Can I even get it to work with OpenVPN?
