Bridging on Windows Server 2008 R2
Posted: Mon Jan 02, 2012 4:18 pm
Hi,
I am trying to set up OpenVPN under Windows Server 2008 R2 in a XEN VM environment. I'm trying to set up a bridged connection but I don't get to succeed in getting the windows network configuration up and running. I was wondering if there is anybody who may be able to point me in the right direction.
The first adapter is the internet connection "Local Area Connection 2", which works perfectly fine stand alone. I've set it up to not get the settings from DHCP. So I have a config:
IP: 192.168.2.14
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Default gateway: 192.168.2.254
DNS1:192.168.2.254
DNS2:195.35.183.42
Then I make a bridged connection with this connection and the Win32-Tap adapter.
For that I enter the settings from above but windows can't connect to internet. Actually it "shows a working connection" for about 15 seconds and then it errors saying "No internet connection". It says that the DNS isn't working but I can't do anything directly with IPs as well.
Am I missing a step here?
I hope somebody can help!
