i dont understand the second part, please explain it better...
are you trying to secure your wireless using openvpn?

when you test ping, what exactly are you trying to ping, and from where?

thanks again for attention and help.

we have 2 building here Office A & Office B

we want to access all file in the office B with samba server via OpenVpn.

we use wirelles for connection and want use OpenVpn for secure and access samba server

sorry for bad english.

i am using laptop with winxp from office A want to access samba in office B with openvpn

so all clients will need to connect to openvpn when inside the lan (and only when inside the lan)
and the lans will need to be connected to eachother
is this correct?

yes, but only from all client with winxp in office A to samba server with ubuntu in office B.

sorry please help.
i am try to connect from client in office B with OpenVpn to samba server in office A:

server office A:
ip=192.168.3.1
ip vpn=10.8.0.1

server office B:
ip=192.168.5.1

client in office B
ip=192.168.5.10
ip vpn=10.8.0.6

the idea i have connection successfull via vpn and want to access samba via ip vpn \\10.8.0.1
can i?

thanks
