OpenVPN Support Forum

hi, i have successfully connected from client to server and i see the routes added to my client. I disabled the firewall just
to see if i could access the local lan on the server side, but i cannot. I also enabled ip routing on the server.
here are my server/client configs below. Any suggestions ? Thanks,

hi there,

when your client connects, can he pings 192.168.121.1 ip?

what OS is your server/client?

Michael.

when the client connects i cannot ping. server/client are both windows.

server/client are both windows.

i can see that (or there is c drive & program files folder in linux... )

WHICH windows are you using?

Michael.

Windows xp sp3 on both ends

when the client connects i cannot ping

if you cannot ping openvpn servers virtual ip then:

post server logs
post output of netstat -nr on client
