[Openvpn-users] OpenVPN with XP client - can ping both ends but do little else !

Hi all,

I've progressed my OpenVPN to the point where I can ping both ends, but do
precious little else.

ENVIRONMENT:

I am running a LAN connected to the internet via broadband/router combo, and
a remote laptop that has a dialup connection.

I want laptop to be able to see my LAN, so that when I am away from my LAN,
I can still access it - to copy files, map to a network drive etc. so I can
run c/s apps etc.

I have installed OpenVPN on both laptop, and a PC on the LAN.
Both machines have Windows XP.

On my LAN the firewall is in my Netgear router, and the VPN server is a
seperate machine, connected to the router. I have set up port forwarding to
forward external router traffic to UDP port 5000, on to the VPN Server
machine.

>> ENVIRONMENT END;

Now I can ping from the laptop to the VPN server and vice versa, using the
private VPN addresses, 10.1.0.2 for laptop, 10.1.0.1 for VPN server.

However none of the LAN computers show up on the laptop under "Microsoft
Network" or "Network Neighbourhood" or whatever its called.

I have configured both ends to use 'dev tap' as the documentation hinted
that was the easiest, but I've a feeling I should be using 'dev tun'.
...and also internet bridging as opposed to routing...

Any ideas ?
