Hello everybody. I'll try to explain my problem the best i can. After setting up the tunnel between a simple win xp station and a bridged linux box (only with the eth0 and the tap bridged), sending also either the vpn data and the normal data over the same ethernet, can i set an internal tap IP in the linux bridged station in order to receive tunneled data for itself? If not, the XP station will never be able to send tunneled data to the Linux one. Can you understand me? I'm really stressed about the issue, i've tried everything in the route table, adding the remote (XP) subnet mask in a new virtual interface (ifconfig eth0 add MyVirtual [since you can not set any IP to the tap one]) as a new route with the tap interface as gateway (rather than the br0/eth0). Didn't work. Which do you think that is the problem? Can't i actually add another 'virtual' interface only for having the supposed to have TAP IP in this other interface, just like a trick, and to really use the tap one as gateway to send and receive tunneled data? I gues that not, because that interface will be not bridged, and then will be not able to send the traffic across the TAP one..?
