      Hi People.

      This is a question that is been around this forum, i have read this forum with no solution, i setup my road-warrior setting using the doc from the manual here at this site.

      I have my server at home 192.168.10.X 255.255.255.0
        I setup a host at dyndns myname.dyndns.com

      I don't have a wins server or dns inside my network, but i have some shares that i need to access from anywhere.

      I can ping my lan clients from outside without any issue, my LAN cannot ping my road-warriors no problem here, i just want that my road-warriors get access to my lan shares running windows 2k/win xp.

      This is my openvpn.conf setting:

      writepid /var/run/openvpn_server0.pid
      #user nobody
      #group nobody
      daemon
      keepalive 10 60
      ping-timer-rem
      persist-tun
      persist-key
      dev tun
      proto udp
      cipher BF-CBC
      up /etc/rc.filter_configure
      down /etc/rc.filter_configure
      server 10.0.8.0 255.255.255.0
      client-config-dir /var/etc/openvpn_csc
      push "route 192.168.10.0 255.255.255.0"
      lport 1194
      ca /var/etc/openvpn_server0.ca
      cert /var/etc/openvpn_server0.cert
      key /var/etc/openvpn_server0.key
      dh /var/etc/openvpn_server0.dh
      comp-lzo
      persist-remote-ip
      float

      This is my client setting(windows xp home):

      float
      port 1194
      dev tun
      dev-node ovpn
      proto udp
      remote www.XYZ.dyndns.org 1194
      ping 10
      persist-tun
      persist-key
      tls-client
      ca ca.crt
      cert client1.crt
      key client1.key
      ns-cert-type server
      comp-lzo
      pull
      verb 4

      I have firewalls on windows disable, my road-warriors can ping my LAN clients. But if i want to see my clients share using \LAN-CLIENT-IP

      Tell me that i don't have rights to access that resource. I setup lmhost + hosts with my LAN clients IP+name, i try to access using the same command and same result.

      This a small network, i'm testing this setting, for me this is my first openvpn server i setup, i have read this forum but i still cannot made this thing works.

      Exist one field at the server setting where u setup the remote network, i understand that the network i put there my LAN-clients will reach, but is not working, is i'm wrong let me know.

      Some told something about the option iroute, but them he told that is not the solution.

      My DSL modem is a 2wire, my routing tables from my server:

        you are missing a tls-server on the server config since you have a tls-client on clinet one.

          Hi ermal.

          Sorry for not answer u this days, i was checking this problem, i had been working with this issue this days, and yesterday something told me, ask your self this:

          Can i browse my shares inside my internal LAN?
            Can i access my shares inside my internal LAN?

          I detect that inside my LAN i could not browse my clients and none of my clients could access the shares.

          Today i fix this and now i can access my shares from my vpn, i can map my shares. I already did a little change to my server settings.

          The problem was my internal LAN, thanks for your help, now i love more this great OS and his tools.

          Right now I'm checking how to tuning the performance of the connection, thanks again for your support  ;D.

                This isn't too hard.

                The point is that you have to have your wins server announce on the subnet where the VPN hosts are too. This requires a few changes in the setup.

                1. You need to make the WINS server know it has another subnet to relate to:
                in smb.conf:

                make sure hosts allow contains the subnet

                hosts allow = 127.0.0.1 10.23.23.0/24
                wins support = yes

                2. The you have to add the following options to the openvpn server:
                push "dhcp-option NBT 2"
                push "dhcp-option DNS <your dns="" ip="">"   
                push "dhcp-option WINS <your wins="" server="" ip="">"

                I find browsing a bit slow. I am not sure why, so if anyone has some input on that, I would be greatfull.</your></your>
