Either what I am doing is wrong, or I have not explained my environment well enough. Shorewall server loc network: 1.1.1.0/24 Shorewall tap0 device assigned IP of 2.2.2.254/24 Via SMB I can map drives from the 1.1.1.0 network to the 2.2.2.0 network and do other things like SSH, http, etc..., but things like seeing Domain names in an explorer browser, or seeing other auto discovery services (UPnP, DAAP, etc) do not work. I did not think that broadcasts would traverse the two different sub-nets and that was the issue. Are you saying it is possible for the 1.1.1.0/24 devices to be able to use auto-discovery services just like they were if they were on the 2.2.2.0/24 network? If I connect a openvpn client from a device on the 1.1.1.0/24 network directly to the OpenVPN server on the 2.2.2.0/24 network everything works. When trying to use shorewall as the VPN client instead of devices on the 1.1.1.0/24 network is when the broadcasting stuff appears not to work. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
