Hi,
I have currently installed the OpenVPN access server to evaluate as a possible solution for the company that I work at. We have clients that need to use our backup system which in return uses
nmblookup to identify hosts ip addresses.
Now, I've run the default installation which sets up the VPN: with 5.5.0.0/20, vpn mode layer 3 (routing,nat) etc. Clients are able to install and connect to the private network ping hosts on it, pretty much do anything that's defined in the openvpn-as Web-UI.
So the setup is as follows for example:
Server:
192.168.0.A # local ip
5.5.0.0/20 # vpn openvpn-as sets up 4 interfaces as0t0, as0t1, as0t2, as0t3 (p-t-p)
Client:
192.168.1.B # local ip
5.5.8.5 # vpn ip
The problem arises when I attempt to integrate Samba (which is also acting as a WINS server) with the vpn. Samba is on the same Server as the openvpn-as. Is there anyone with any experience that can guide me on where the issue might be. I have spent quite some time trying to establish communication between the vpn clients and the WINS server but no luck. Could the point-to-point protocol be the issue here? Please let me know if you need any further information (such as logs etc.)
Thanks
