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? Here's my setup: Home Homefirewall workfirewall workstation 192.168.2.5 68.234.172.158 4.3.18.156 192.168.0.2 Thanks, Tom -- Tom Nielsen Neuro Logic Systems 805.389.5435 x18 www.neuro-logic.com

I think you need to turn IP forwarding as well as have the tunnel up. Ken Schneider

Can I do that without the firewall up? Tom -- Tom Nielsen Neuro Logic Systems 805.389.5435 x18 www.neuro-logic.com

Thanks! Changed IP_FORWARD to yes. Do I need to restart anything? Tom -- Tom Nielsen Neuro Logic Systems 805.389.5435 x18 www.neuro-logic.com

The above setting will make sure the IP_FORWARD is on the next time you boot. To achive what you want on the fly, as root type this and you are done echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward -- Togan Muftuoglu Unofficial SuSE FAQ Maintainer Please reply to the list; http://susefaq.sf.net Please don't put me in TO/CC.

Looking back on what I've done, it seems I already put that in as root. I'll try again tonight. Thanks -- Tom Nielsen Neuro Logic Systems 805.389.5435 x18 www.neuro-logic.com
