New setup with existing LAN

[lazysmerf]

I spent 3 hours yesterday trying to set this up and ended up breaking there network connection, and had to run to site to correct the issue.

O.K. here is what i need to get done:
Windows 2003 (Windows Home Server) 192.168.1.xxx
Windows 7 and Xp clients various external IP's
Would prefer 1 client config file for all clients
low to medium security or High if it can be done with above client file
need to be able to access at least 2 IP's on the 192.168.1.xxx Lan network
Need to be able to RDP to WHS above

I follwed no less than 6 different tutorials all ranging from setting up a 172.17.8.4 OpenVPN ip to one stating i needed to create a Bridge on the windows server. i created the bridge and had to run to site to correct my mistake. i currently have the windows bridge set to a static IP that the server would normally receive reserved. I have attached the server and client configuration files below.

Code: Select all

Server.ovpn
;local a.b.c.d
port 1194

dev tap
;dev-tap tap-bridge

Please edit your config pastings to strip comments.

You can use: `grep -vE '^#|^;|^$' server.conf`

Also, please see: http://www.secure-computing.net/wiki/in ... PN/Routing

You can use: `grep -vE '^#|^;|^$' server.conf`

Thats a great idea for a linux user, windows users do not have the same capability. I will edit it manually.
