Greets to all,
Sorry for creating a new topic regarding OpenVPN, other topics are a bit technical and I just need a few things clearing up if anyone would to be so kind..
I seem to have done what I considered the 'hard part' and got the certificate keys in place.
My situation is that I have my network running a DNS-323 with the local IP address of 192.168.1.200 connected to a router (local IP of 192.168.1.1) with the Port 1194 forwarded to 192.168.1.200. My network currrently has 2 computers (both = VISTA) and both the computers can correctly see each other and the NAS shares.
The "outside" remote computer is a Windows XP machine connected to the internet through a wifi adsl modem.
I have installed OpenVPN and the keys on to the remote windows xp computer and it reports that it is connected with the IP address of 10.10.0.6
I'm unsure what to do now from the remote windows xp computer, am I supposed to be able to just click the network and see all the computers and the shares even though it has a completely different IP address? I'm hoping thats how it works, when it works
I am unable to ping the remote machine from either computers currently on the network, and unable to ping the computers from the remote machine.
I'm guessing something is wrong with one of the config files so I will post the contents of them below (its basically copied from another user's post on this board).
Thanks for any help!!

Not too many folk using their DNS-323 as a OpenVPN Server?
I will do some more testing to see if I can get somewhere with it, but I have never set up a VPN before.
I just thought I would bump this just incase someone can contribute with their experience
Thanks!

Hi
I'm doing the same - in terms of connecting the remote XP machine to the VPN tunnel - in XP you need to go to mycomputer and map (tools / map network drive) the VPN port to a drive - in the 'folder box' put something like:-
\\10.8.0.2\Volume_1 (or whar ever the reported VPN IP address is)
and it should connect.
That said, I have it working from an XP machine to the DNS - but currently failed to do the same with a remote vista PC.
Hope this helps.

Hi PaulS,
Thanks a lot for your reply!, I will give that a go and let you know my results.
So while that should allow the remote PC to access the NAS, is it not possible for the remote PC to see the other PC's on the same network as the NAS too?
Cheers.

I'm most interested in VPN solution!!! please continue to share your findings here. And please make them simple. I just browsed thru OPENVPN How-to and got really lost - heeeeheee.
In theory, you are correct - you should be able to see the other pc's. Have you tried START/RUN/ and enter \\pc-name ?
Thanks
