Re: [Openvpn-users] Newbie question: Samba with OpenVPN and DNS names

Stephen,

I just ran into this problem myself. there was two things I needed to do:

1) add a route to the Samba server pointing to the OpenVPN's network mask(10.8.0.0) with the gateway to the actual IP address of the OpenVPN server.
2) Add 10.8.X.X to the "allow_hosts" reference to the smb.conf file

Best of luck.

Hello,

I went through the HOWTOs and set up OpenVPN on a SuSE Linux 9.3 Server with five Windows XP SP2 clients.
My setup is very close to the sample and it works well. I can connect to Samba on the Linux server with \\10.x.x.1\sharename, but I cannot reach the server using \\servername\sharename.

I could add the server name to the hosts file of the Windows XP clients, but thats not the smart solution, isn't it?
Is there a simple solution?


Thanks for your replies in advance,
