[Openvpn-users] OpenVPN -> Exchange : Road Warriors have trouble connecting to mail server ...

Hi all,

First of all, thanks to all the people that worked (and keep working) on OpenVPN project, as it really rocks !

I installed a VPN for one of our customers, it works, I can connect to the server, browse shares, ...

But, when I try to connect to the Exchange using outlook, it never connects...

Here's a little more explanation :

The customers only owns one w2k server which is DC, DHCP, DNS, Exchange 2003 and OpenVPN server. It's LAN IP is 192.168.1.1 and OpenVPN IP is 10.8.0.1

The problem appears with 'road warriors' (laptops) as those people may connect either from the LAN or VPN to the exchange server.

From LAN, no problem, the server called 'server' is found (DNS) and it works.

From VPN, 'server' isn't recognized and no connection is possible. I tried pushing the DNS, doesn't work and if I modify the hosts to say ''server' is 10.8.0.1' it works in VPN but no more from LAN ...

Any idea ? Maybe a route to push ? (I don’t really master routing :( help would be appreciated …)

Thanks in advance !!
