Greetings - I have an openvpn installation at a customer site which allows me to connect to the VPN Server but does not allow me to see the remote local network. I've tried switching to routing instead of bridging but that does not seem to work. Please see below my configuration example and let me know if you have any ideas.


NETWORK CONFIG

netopia router --- network switch --- standard linux installation

like I said before, I can connect to the vpn server from my sprint card at home, np.
However I cannot see the vpn servers local network.

things I have tried

* changing, on the vpn server, routing
* enabled IPV_forwarding, vpn server

I am sure it would be easier to set this up if I installed another network card on the vpn server, and plugged it into another open port on the netopia router and connected one card to the internet(public ip) connected the other to the local network (inside).

however I would like to make it work as it is, behind a firewall, on the local area lan.


please advise...

also I am using centos 4.4, you know, centos/redhat/fedora, were all one big happy family...

Someone may want to correct me if I'm wrong but I believe the firewall needs to allow port 1193 through.
