[Openvpn-users] Re: Re: Network Shares

[Mike S. <mi...@in...>]

Sorry about the diatribe of small posts.

Yes pinging and VNC all work perfectly. One machine even pops up in
network browsing. I can connect to local shares (*not* on the VPN
subnet) without problem via computer name or IP address.

Nothing about SMB seems to be operating over the VPN and that goes
for:

-XP->W2K remotely
-W2K->W2K on local network
-other W2K->XP remotely

Tearing my hair out cos I can't see what has changed. In all other
respects the VPN is working fine. Have tried b11->b14, b14->14 and
b11->b14.

Mike,

I doubt that something changed in OpenVPN between beta11 and beta14 that would
have specifically broke samba but nothing else.

Can you run anything over the VPN, such as FTP, VNC, etc?  It helps to know
what works and what doesn't -- that will tell us whether it's an OpenVPN
problem or a samba problem.
