Hi, > I can > connect to Samba on the Linux server with \\10.x.x.1\sharename, but > I cannot reach the server using \\servername\sharename. This actually sounds to me like WINS-based hostname resolution is not working. Normally, \\servername is resolved into an IP address using a broadcast-response system, but that does not work if you use tunneling (since you now have two subnets). There are a few options to solve this: a) use a WINS server (you can set openVPN to push this to all VPN clients, and have your DHCP server push this to local machines) b) add a record to your DNS servers for your Samba server (similar to setting up a WINS server, but a bit more work to maintain) c) use bridging instead of tunneling (I haven't tried broadcast wins-over-bridging personally so I don't know if it works, but I think it should) Hope this helps, Francis ______________________ OpenVPN mailing lists https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/openvpn-users |
