problem connecting to private network..

Post by djseto » Fri May 06, 2011 10:28 pm

I am new to this whole network VPN thing.

I am a road warrior trying to get access to my home network. I setup OpenVPN Access Server as virtual appliance running on my home VMware ESXi server. I got everything configured (mostly through trial and error) such that I can connect via Tunnelblick to my VPN.

When I connect I get a 5.5.X.X ip address. Once connected, I can't ping or access any of my servers that are running on my private network (192.168.0.X addresses). I have the routing configured in OpenVPN as NAT and in the settings that say "Specify the private subnets to which all clients should be given access (as 'network/netmask_bits', one per line):", I have 192.168.0.0/16.

What am I missing here? I've been struggling with this for hours and my network background is "advanced home user" at best...

as you're using OpenVPN Access Server I will have to redirect you to their tech support ; this forum is only for the open source (community) version of OpenVPN.
