[Solved] Bridged mode on W2k3 server

gipadm

I'm testing a new configuration on a w2k3 server installed in virtualbox.
The OpenVPN server works fine when in routing mode.
But I'm having trouble turning it into bridged mode.

I am following this tutorial:
http://openvpn.net/index.php/open-source/documentation/miscellaneous/76-ethernet-bridging.html

As soon as I bridge "Local Area Connection" with "tap-bridge" (OpenVPN) I lose connection to the network.
I tried forcing the TCP/IP properties on the bridge adapter to be the same as those of the "Local Area Connection" but it didn't help.

Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks, that's exactly what I'm experiencing. I'll try it on production machine then.

I see. I have to punch in the IP, mask, GW and DNS.
