cant ping guest vm from vpn client

[SoftyCraft]

at work i have the following 02 physical machines:
(physerver1) (windows 2003 server) used as vpn server (windows built-in vpn)
(physerver1) is also used as vmware host (hosting the virtual machine virguest1 (windows 2003 server also))
(physerver2) (windows 2003 server)
at home i have the physical machine
phypc1 (windows xp)
i can connect to my vpn server with no problem
i can ping physerver1 and physerver2 with no problem
but i can’t ping virguest1
virguest1 is bridged

anyone can help me resolve that ?

This is a forum for OpenVPN related questions, I wouldn't expect any help with the windows built in VPN, or any other unrealted VPN solutions, sorry.

i used OpenVPN at first and i thought it was an openvpn issue,
so i tried with windows built-in vpn , and got the same result.

We need much more information that you initially provided, ie. server and client configs, network layout, etc, etc. If you can provide this, then someone here can probably help you, but without it, we can't do much.

Re-install and reconfigure openvpn.. then if you run into it, post the configuration files and the log files here.
