I like to ask if the following configuration is possible with openVPN:
I have a virtual MS-Dos machine running in MS Virtual PC 2007. In this machine a foxbase program is running with lantastic network connection to a MS-dos lantastic server. The physical ethernet card is "bridged" with the virtual machine, and the network cable connected to the dos hub, so that there is a connection with the Dos-server. This configuration works.
Now my question. Can I bridge the virtual adapter of openVPN with my virtual dos machine. Install openVPN on some other remote computer inside my windows network. On this remote the virtual adapter must be bridged with the physical ethernet adapter which is connected to the dos-hub. Now I wish to setup a vpn tunnel between the virtual machine and the remote computer to let the dos machine connect to the lantastic network.
The idea is that the virtual machine is running on a windows 7 laptop as host, and the remote computer is a desktop somewhere in the office, connected to the dos-hub and lantastic server. In that case I can make use of the wireless network connection of the laptop, and walk with the dos machine around inside the warehouse.
{virtual Dos Machine} -> [virtual adapter] -> (vpn to remote virtual adapter) -> [remote virtual adapter] -> [bridged to physical adapter] -> {dos hub} -> {lantastic dos server}
Can anybody tell me is this is possible, and give me some advice where to start.
I have no experience with openVPN at all, and I am complete new to it.

in theory this should work, BUT it depends highly on how well VirtualPC emulates a phyiscal network card; if you can bridge openvpn's tap-win32 adapter to VirtualPCs virtual adapter then this might work, but virtualization and bridging don't always play nice.
