OpenVPN help - browse internal hosts (Solved!!)

BrianW

Ok well we emerged poptop first with many config problems( because our server is behind a NAT router), we decided to give openvpn a try. We have had much success with openvpn. We are only stuck on one thing. We cannot connect to other hosts on the same netowrk as the openvpn server.

Topology:

Network A: 10.0.2.0/24 Contains Openvpn server and various other hosts behind a Netgear router.
Network B: 10.0.1.0/24 Contains a WXP box behind a ClarkConnect Firewall-Router

Goals:

1) To connect from WXP box to openvpn server and access the resouces on said server, ie: Samba, DNS, etc...
2) To connect from WXP box to other hosts on network A

So far we have successfully achieved Goal 1. We are stuck on goal 2. We know it has to do with routes. We are suspecting that we will have to add a route to our Netgear router in network A. Any help or suggestions?

Here are our config files:

Our theory of adding a route to the gateway on network A to the tun0 network proved successful.

Here is the static route we added to the netgear router on network A

After being able to access the other hosts on network a, we decided to do some tests. Some things worked, and some things did not. We decided to upgrade our server version to the same as the current client version we were running on the WXP box. After upgrading the server to the latest version, and changing the proto to tcp, we got positive results from all tests we threw at it. The tunnel is working great. We highly recomend this app for securely connecting remote networks across untrusted networks.
