VPN connects and pings server, cannot see any shares

Post by ajssbp » Sat Nov 06, 2010 3:29 am

Hi everyone,

Just a preface, I'm new to VPNs, so I apologize in advance if this seems simplistic.

My OpenVPN setup is as follows

Laptop w open VPN ----> ClearOS Box with OpenVPN server ----> LAN computers

Both the ClearOS box and the internal LAN computers have shares on them I would like to access, but for now I'll settle for the ClearOS share since it is actually on the server. I have openVPN setup and running on both the client and server and a connection is made. OpenVPN pops up on the client saying I have an ip of 10.8.0.6 and I can successfully ping the server (10.8.0.1). I cannot, however, see any shares on the server or computers internal to the server. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.


Client config:
client
remote serverip.com 1194
dev tun
proto udp
resolv-retry infinite
nobind
persist-key
persist-tun
ca ca-cert.pem
cert client-cert.pem
key client-key.pem
ns-cert-type server
comp-lzo
verb 3
auth-user-pass

Do you have IP routing enabled?

What errors do you get when trying to ping a machine on the remote LAN?

How are you trying to access these shares?

Can you post your server config without comments?
