It is actually worst that ever : using bridged connection and tap devices, the tunnel is up, but I cannot ping ANYTHING (not even my local tap device IP...).

Any idea what to do next ?

Are you using "dev tap" or "dev tun" in your config file?
 
What I've learned ....(see my posts in last week - "OpenVPN with XP client - can ping both ends but do little else !")....
....is that for Windows clients its better to use "dev tap" and implement a network bridge between your real and virtual Network Adapter Cards on the target LAN
 
your XP box then becomes a virtual member of your LAN, and you do all the sexy things like map network drives etc.

Hi everyone smile.gif

I've been setting up a VPN server on a Fedora C2 box (openvpn V2.b11) for the last, hu, 3 weeks ! The FC2 is a gateway for our LAN (2 network interfaces, eth0 public IP, eth1 private IP), and I want to access my lan from a remote road warrior WinXPSP2 box (nobody's perfect tongue.gif).

After a lot of fights with my server, I did eventually succeeded to ping accross the tunnel I had created, and I can ping all computers on my LAN from my win box. Only problem : I cannot map any network drives from any computer of my LAN... I get the error :

"System error 53 occured ; network path not found" (well, this is what it means cos I've translated it from french rolleyes.gif )

Do I need to add specific iptables rules to allow network drives mapping through my gateway ?

Thanks for any advices you could give me, I would be very grateful !
