Cannot RDP to machines on same LAN as OpenVPN server

Post by Simon B » Fri Nov 27, 2009 5:54 pm

Hi All,

I've got a strange problem with regards to OpenVPN server and RDP. The issue is that I cannot RDP to any servers which are on the same LAN as the OpenVPN server itself, but I can to other segments beyond the OpenVPN server.

Here's the breakdown.

LAN segment 1 - 192.168.2.0
LAN segment 2 - 192.168.1.0
LAN segment 3 - 10.10.10.0

The physical route into the internal network is via a CISCO Pix which has appropriate rules to forward UDP port 1194 to the OpenVPN server.
I can ping all devices on any network segment from my remote [VPN] client
I can RDP to all servers on segment 2 and 3
I CAN'T RDP to any servers on segment 1

I can browse network shares on all segments......

What is really confusing is that if I use a CISCO VPN client (terminating on the PIX itself), I can RDP to the servers on segment 1 - and of course, I can RDP to them from any LAN segment on the internal LAN.

Anyone got any ideas? I can post full details of configs etc if needed, but I suspect it may be something more fundamental :(

Regards,
Simon B
