      Hi there,

      I set up OpenVPN following the beginners HOWTO. Almost everything goes ok.

      So, here is my architecture.
      192.168.2.0/24 : Corporate network behind pfSense
      192.168.2.10 : M$ Small Business Server 2003 (active directory, exchange, DNS, ..) (=first DNS for WS)
      192.168.2.1 : pfSense box (xxx.dyndns.org) (=gateway for WS)

      192.168.3.2 : Remote computer with openVPN client

      Here is the openVPN pfSense configuration
      UDP
      Address pool 192.168.200.0/24
      Local network 192.168.2.0/24
      PKI authentication

      Some test cases
      Remote computer is successfully connected and gets IP 192.168.200.6.
      From that computer I can ping everything (workstations, SBS).
      From workstations I can ping the remote computer

      The problem is that I can't see the shares on the SBS, I can't either log onto AD.
      If I put 192.168.2.0 as adresss pool, I can't ping anything.

      What should I do ?

      Thank you for your help

      Thibault

          Can you ping by IP?  For the name resolution you might need to implement WINS.
