      This is probably the most asked question around here but i just can't get it work.

      I am trying to reach my LAN (CLIENT) through OpenVPN but i cant. I connect normally using OpenVPN and i get an ip address although not a default gateway and still i can only ping my LAN (CLIENT) interface. The interesting part is that when i ping 10.0.44.44 from the VPN network i can see the ICMP request coming by sniffing but no reply leaves.

      I attach below my net diagram and the configuration of the OpenVPN Server.

      Please help me get it done.Tx

        If that laptop is windows vista or 7, you probably need to disable the local FW or allow pings to all addresses.

          podilarius, thanks man, i feel so stupid. I thought it was a routing problem. That didn't even cross my mind. I got it working once i disabled the firewall. Thanks again.
