Re: [Openvpn-users] OpenVPN and Windows network drive maps

DS,

Maybe I understand. Let me be more specific.

Our Windows network drive (Samba) is at 10.0.0.1.
Our Veterinary application, dhcp, vet. application network share, and WINS are at 10.0.0.2
Our OpenVPN is at 10.0.0.40.

These addresses need to be pushed out to the clients, right? I have added push lines for
the veterinary app server and the network drive, but I did not make any progress.

We have a new office, across the street, that will need to access these resources as well.
Their internal IPs will be in the 192.168 range.

new office ->firewall ->Internet ->animal hospital firewall ->openVPN server ->animal hospital vet application

This is in addition to the doctors who need to connect from home.

The server itself can, insofar as it is concerned. Remember that IP
routing works on a hop by hop paradigm. Look at how traffic comes from
an OpenVPN client to a destination system (e.g. hosting Windows
shares), and then replies from that system back again; your routing
might be set up such that you can route traffic from your openvpn
server to the destination host, but that host also has to know who to
send traffic to (next hop) in order to get traffic back to your
openvpn server for the client (and so does the hop after that, and the
hop after that, etc.). In other words, does every hop between your
destination server (inclusive) and the openvpn server know that
10.8.x.x gets directed towards the openvpn server?
