Topic: OpenVPN Questions

[eiceic]

I followed knuddi's document for getting OpenVPN 2.0 going with SME 6.01 - It worked great - Thank You!

Here are a few questions I have about further configuration:

1)  I have two SME 6.01 servers at my office - 172.1.0.55 and 172.1.0.56 -  OpenVPN is running on my SME gateway/router (172.1.0.55) - When I OpenVPN in via Windows XP from a remote network, I can access the 172.1.0.55 server, but I can't access the 172.1.0.56 server (I can ping it, but I can't putty or map a drive)

2)  Is there a how-to for doing a Server to Server OpenVPN 2.0/SME 6.01 link?

Thanks,

This is most likely a relative simple routing issue. What is the default gateway for the server you cannot reach? It has to be the server-gateway or the packet will not find its way back. What does a tracert to 192.1.0.55 say from the remove XP?

Hi,

Here are the results when I get in via OpenVPN
[/size]C:\Documents and Settings\admin>tracert 172.1.0.55

Tracing route to pc-00055.eic.com [172.1.0.55]
over a maximum of 30 hops:

  1    67 ms    66 ms    67 ms  pc-00055.eic.com [172.1.0.55]

Trace complete.

C:\Documents and Settings\admin>tracert 172.1.0.56

Tracing route to pc-00056.eic.com [172.1.0.56]
over a maximum of 30 hops:

  1    66 ms    66 ms    65 ms  192.168.100.1
  2    67 ms    67 ms    67 ms  pc-00056.eic.com [172.1.0.56]

Here are the good results that I get with the old PPTP vpn

C:\Documents and Settings\admin>tracert 172.1.0.55

Tracing route to pc-00055.eic.com [172.1.0.55]
over a maximum of 30 hops:

  1    68 ms    67 ms    68 ms  pc-00055.eic.com [172.1.0.55]

Trace complete.

C:\Documents and Settings\admin>tracert 172.1.0.56

Tracing route to pc-00056.eic.com [172.1.0.56]
over a maximum of 30 hops:

  1    65 ms    68 ms    66 ms  pc-00055.eic.com [172.1.0.55]
  2   420 ms    68 ms    65 ms  pc-00056.eic.com [172.1.0.56]

Trace complete.

Server 172.1.0.56 has 172.1.0.55 as it's gateway.

Thanks
