Please forgive me if I have put this request in the wrong place, however, this is my first ever post/question in this forum.
I have created a virtual Ubuntu machine and installed OpenVPN in my workplace. Everything has been configured (mostly), with the correct port forwarded on the router, with port 1194 forwarded to 192.168.2.253 (IP address of the Ubuntu server). OpenVPN client has been installed on my home computer running Windows 7 Professional and am able to connect without any problems. I connect and am given an IP address in the 10.80.0.x range.
So, all is good. Well, again, mostly.
I am unable to ping any machine on the work network when using its name when connected via OpenVPN, however can ping using its IP address. I can connect to any machine using VNC as long as I know the IP address and can see the NAS inside the workplace, again using the IP address. I am unable to connect to anything using its name, so it's a DNS issue.
How can I connect or see via the computer name without using the IP address? I've also noticed that I'm actually unable to ping anything internally from the Utuntu machine itself. All help very much appreciated.
