      2.0.2-RELEASE (i386)
      built on Fri Dec 7 16:30:38 EST 2012
      FreeBSD 8.1-RELEASE-p13

      Static IP
      Router setup with a DMZ to pfsense WAN IP.

      pfsense Interfaces
      Wan Interface (DHCP fixed)
      Lan Interface static with DHCP server service on.
      OPT1 interface which is the OpenVPN Server
      Lan & OPT1 are bridged.

      I've followed these instructions http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1663797 and have the Win7 machine connecting to the openVPN, it gets a Lan IP address which is the start IP address in the Server Bridge DHCP Start field.

      I dont seem to be able to ping or access anything on the network. I have toggled the checkbox Inter-client communication (Allow communication between clients connected to this server) but neither option seems to work.

      Any suggestions?

      OpenVPN:Server
      General Information
      Server Mode: Remote Access SSL/TLS
      Protocol: UDP
      Interface: WAN
      Local Port: 1194

      Cryptographic Settings
      Certs are all ok.

      Tunnel Settings
      Tunnel Network: <blank>Bridge DHCP: Ticked
      Bridge Interface: LAN
      Server Bridge DHCP Start: A Lan IP Address
      Server Bridge DHCP Start (should read End): A Lan IP Address + 5

      Concurrent Connections: 4
      Compression: Ticked
      Type of Service: Unticked

      DNS Default Domain: Ticked
      Domain Field : mydomain.local

      DNS Servers: Ticked
      DNS Server 1: LAN IP Address

      NTP Servers: Unticked
      NetBios Options: Unticked (have toggled this, and set Node Type to None, b-node, m-mode & h-mode but no joy).

      Advanced Configuration
      Advanced: <blank>Interfaces:
      WAN: DHCP
      LAN: Static
      OPT1: None

      Interface Assignments
      WAN: Nic1
      LAN: Nic2
      OPT1: OpenVPN Server

      Bridges
      Bridge0 (Members LAN, OPT1)

      Rules
      OpenVPN (created by OpenVPN wizard)
      1 rule (any proto, source and destination)

      WAN Interface
      1 rule (UDP, any source, destination WAN, Dest. Port 1194, any gateway)

      OPT1 Interface
      1 rule (any proto, source and destination)

      Any suggestions why this doesnt seem to be working? I've read in some places there are problems with bridging in openVPN on pfsense 2.0.2-RELEASE (i386), am I hitting one of these pfsense problems?

      TIA.</blank></blank>

        I have TUN working so will stick with this for now and will revisit when pfsense 2.1 is released.
