Unable ping server
Posted: Fri Oct 16, 2009 2:32 pm
Hi I am a newbie regarding open vpn and been searching lots of forums but now its time to ask for help
I have linksys router with a static ip
Its port forwards calls of this ip to a windows xp where I installed the openvpn server. The ip in the lan is 192.168.1.99
In the same lan I have a linux where an application is running through the lan web.
My aim is to connect to the xp using openvpn and through the browser access the application like i am in the same lan through the browser
http://pcname:port/ the ip of the unix machine is 192.168.1.100
gateway is 192.168.1.1
