---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: stephen123@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx <stephen123@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: May 1, 2007 2:41 AM Subject: Printing on local LAN with Ethernet bridging To: Leonard Isham <leonard.isham@xxxxxxxxx> We are starting to use OpenVPN. Thank you James Yonan and everyone who has worked on the program. This is my first time on a mailing list. The program is mostly working. I set up an ethernet bridge. Each side can see the computers on the other side. However there is a problem on the client side. When not connected to OpenVPN, all computers on the client side can see each other and the 192.168.2.130 network printer, a Canon MFC 8170c. When OpenVPN is connected All computers can see each other but the XP home computer running OpenVPN can not see the printer(ping fails). The other 2 computers can however (One is millenium, one is Win98SE). I have not tried printing across the openVPN yet. ##### The Server machine has 2 ethernet cards. # Running XP pro # The router is 192.168.2.1 255.255.255.0. The DHCP is 192.168.2-40. # Port 1194 is forwarded in router. # The first ethernet card is 192.168.2.132 # The second card is bridged. The bridge is set to 10.8.0.1. Firewall disabled. ##### the Client machine in the second office has 2 ethernet cards. # Running XP Home # The router is 192.168.2.129 255.255.255.0 # Port 1194 is forwarded in router. # The first ethernet card is 192.168.2.132 # The second card is bridged. The bridge is 10.8.0.54. Firewall disabled. # The other computers are 192.168.2.135 and 138. # The networked printer is 192.168.2.130. # Server side config file using ethernet bridging. port 1194 proto udp dev tap dev-node OpenVPN ca ca.crt cert server.crt key server.key # This file should be kept secret dh dh1024.pem ifconfig-pool-persist ipp.txt server-bridge 10.8.0.1 255.255.255.0 10.8.0.50 10.8.0.100 comp-lzo persist-key persist-tun push "persist-key" push "persist-tun" ping-restart 60 ping-timer-rem resolv-retry 86400 push "ping-restart 60" status openvpn-status.log verb 3 mute 10 push "route 192.168.2.0 255.255.255.0" route 10.8.0.50 255.255.255.0 route 10.8.0.51 255.255.255.0 route 10.8.0.52 255.255.255.0 ####### Client Side config file client dev tap dev-node OpenVPN proto udp remote icaoaklandcamera.dyndns.org 1194 float resolv-retry infinite nobind ping-timer-rem resolv-retry 86400 ca ca.crt cert client4.crt key client4.key ns-cert-type server comp-lzo verb 3 mute 10 ##### I would like to post what I have found about testing openVPN with DSL and dialup. ##### But I do not know how to do it. The problem. Testing openVPN. I have DSL at home for the Server side of openVPN. The client side is a mile or 2 away, very inconvienient. So I set up dial up at home for testing. Here is what I found. An internal modem does not work. The response to pinging is too slow. Sometimes I would get 1,2 or even 4 replies with time=1500ms about. But then it would fail on repeating the pinging. The solution is an external hardware mode. Even thought the ping time is slow it works and is consistent.
