Subject: [SLE] Openvpn question
...
I've managed to get an openvpn connection from my home to my work
computer. Both SuSE 9. My problem is getting to the other computers on
my network. I can't ping anyone else. I do not have my firewall turned
on on my work computer as there is already one on my work's firewall
(suse 8.2).
Do I need to do a redirect at my work computer to allow me to see the
other machines on my network?
I think you need to turn IP forwarding as well as have the tunnel up.
Can I do that without the firewall up?
/etc/sysconfig/sysctl change it to "yes"
## Path:        Network/General
## Description: forward/route IP(v4) packets
## Type:        yesno
## Default:     no
#
# Runtime-configurable parameter: forward IP packets.
# Is this host a router? (yes/no)
#
IP_FORWARD="no"
