I can connect, I can ping both sides. However, I need to map shared folders, and, that is what I can't do. Would appreciate help

# For the vpn client to vpn server:
net use z: \\192.168.137.1\{share_name}

when I add it to client config and try to connect, nothing happens. Without it, and successful connection, if I try to map manually, I get the message: can't find the location (server is on win7, client winXP, if it has any meaning)

will read it

Simple answer: use --server-bridge and --dev-type tap (OSI Layer 2 ethernet bridge).

Difficult answer: use a Linux Samba† server.

for a reason, can't use search on forum. Would appreciate a tutor how to create bridge connection, as all I have found so far on google, has not worked. Read about one configuration in a book, but didn't work either, don't know why.

do not know anything about linux :/

is there edit button, or am i blind?

EDIT:

http://openvpn.net/index.php/open-source/documentation/miscellaneous/76-ethernet-bridging.html

read about bridging under win, managed to create server, though, I lost internet connection :?

however, when I changed client settings, nothing was happening. generally speaking, if I set dev tap in client settings, nothing happenes when i try to connect
