Thanks. I was looking for feedback on this part. I got a chance to go back to my setup soon and test it with just 2 and 3.. then it might be a universal solution for 2003 / Vista / 7.

I'm thinking of a solution for your dilemma. I've not used 'iroute' with Windows server before but its designed to work in a situation like yours I think. So that would involve removing 'push redirect-gateway' from server and removing 'route no-pull' from client, and then add to server config 'iroute 177.0.0.0 255.0.0.0' (and create the appropriate 'ccd' file). To fully get it you would need to have a quick read of the iroute commands in the man page.

Where is the "192.168.1.157" computer? (not on your LAN?).

NIce usefull......

Hi, thanks for the tips. I found Windows XP and Windows 7 examples but no Linux example.

I searched and found this:



Is there a better way of doing this? Or can you post the example for Linux?

Thanks!

FYI, I just setup a fresh Windows 7 box with OpenVPN server and found that these two steps (enable Routing and Remote Access, and set IPEnableRouter=1) were not necessary. In other words, I setup my box without doing those two steps and OpenVPN server still worked fine.

Thanks.

Thank you so much. This works for me too! Keep posting such they are very helpful.

Hello,

thank you very much for this tutorial, I have succesfully set up Internet sharing with my Windows 7 PC to another PC on local network. Unfortunately I have some trouble and I need some help with that.

The problem is that my Internet connection randomly fails for few seconds to few minutes period with the client connected to VPN (I have only one client set up). I didn't change anything in config files (except IP addresses and DNS). When the client is not connected, even with server running everything works perfectly. With the client connected, random connection problems occur for me and for the client as well. Any hint?

Thanks.
