Problem reaching throught IP shared folder

locario

Hi there.

I'm new here. I have read and done this step by step guide sucessfull : http://openvpn.net/index.php/open-source/documentation/miscellaneous/78-static-key-mini-howto.html

With that guide i can ping server (10.8.0.1) and if i access \\10.8.0.1 from Windows client i can see access my shared folders.

My server is a Windows XP SP3 and my client is Windows 7 SP1.

Now i have configured Server with this config file :

dev tun

ca ca.crt
cert server.crt
key server.key
dh dh1024.pem

server 10.8.0.0 255.255.255.0
ifconfig-pool-persist ipp.txt

keepalive 10 120

comp-lzo
persist-key
persist-tun

verb 3

and my client:

client
dev tun

remote IP
nobind

ca ca.crt
cert cliente1.crt
key cliente1.key

comp-lzo
persist-key
persist-tun

verb 3

With this setup i can ping from client (10.8.0.6 assigned) to 10.8.0.1 ip server, but, if i use \\10.8.0.1 as previous setup i cannot see server shared folders, why?

Thanks all 😛 and sorry for my English!

Hey man, thanks for your response, that works!!

It's a firewall issue? what can be the problem?

Thanks again

maikcat

yeap , firewall drops your vpn traffic....

you disable firewall on tap adapter or create allow rules if you want...

Yes,

Exactly matter it's ports 139 - 445, and two more ports envolved in file and printer sharing. In Windows XP they are allow traffic only for the "subnet" in this case 192.168.157.x/255.255.255.0 i suppose.

If i select "personalize" that ports in "network file sharing and printers" in firewall -> "allow all machines (internet too)" i can access now from \\10.8.0.1 the shares 😛

You can restrict from ip's what machines want to connect to the shares.

I have mark this solved, now i will configure a Win7 machine to test this things with firewall in Win7.

Thanks maikcat for your help!! :mrgreen:
