similar to: WINS backup/failover with Samba 3 ?

Hello I have a Windows 7 SP1 computer at work, and I want to connect to a different subnet over an OpenVPN connection. First I have this question: if I have a Windows client with two NICs, each one with its own sub-net (172.16.0.0/24 and 10.0.0.0/8) and no routing, should I be able to see and ping all samba computer names from both networks ? I am asking because the 172.15.0.0/24 network is

Hello I have set up NAT with iptables for an openvpn connection, so that the VPN server could give VPN clients access to the entire sub-net of the server. The probelm is if I start system-config-securitylevel to say disable the firewall, and then again to enable it, my iptable rules are gone ! I did run `service iptables save` before. Is there something I can do to prevent this ? Is there a

Is Samba still unable to replicate WINS information? I have a Samba WINS server in place now at Location A. I am establishing Location B which will connect to Location A via OpenVPN behind a IPCop box. I would like to place a Samba WINS server in Location B so that client WINS traffic will not travel across the VPN, however I am unsure if Samba's inability to replicate WINS has since been

Hi, I had some performance problems with TINC running on Windows XP. I had a VPN tunnel running over a wireless network to a Linux VPN server. Web browsing through the tunnel was a pain. Big web pages with lots of pictures loaded very slow compared to a plain network connection. When the VPN client was running on a Linux computer, and a Windows computer was browsing the web through the VPN

Hello Is there a way for the dhcp client to send the current host name of the machine when requesting a lease ? Currently I have to include a line like DHCP_HOSTNAME=appserver2 in my /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0, but I would like to tell the dhcp client to just 'also send the hostname' and then the client to get the current hostname itself, instead of having the name

Hello, I have the need to connect 2 remote site with vpn, the windows pc of the 2 site it can share the HD and printer. This is my configuration : LOCAL NETWORK A : ip from 192.168.10.2 to 192.168.10.99 | | | | eth0: 192.168.10.1 FIREWALL A : ( with debian ; openvpn ver. 2.0.beta15 ; shorewall ver 2.0.11 ) eth1 : xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx ( pubblic ip address ) | | | | INTERNET | | | eth1 :

Hey all, I'm having a bit of a problem with cross-subnet browsing where one of the subnets is managed by an OpenVPN server. My network is set up with a central wireless router running OpenWRT. 192.168.10.x is the subnet for wired hosts and 192.168.20.x is the subnet for wireless hosts. To allow cross-subnet browsing, the OpenWRT router is running as a WINS server (samba). Now, I've

Hi all, I am new to Tinc VPN and really would like to make full benefit of this implementation if possible. I would like to know whether I will be able to use Tinc to its full potential. My current setup is as follows, IPfire router/firewall(openvpn client) --->ISP(Internet)--->Amazon VPS(openvpn server). The ipfire router is behind a CARRIER-GRADE NAT, I am able to reach the network

openVPN with TUN connection works perfect here. I configured 2 TUN connections to connect two remote offices(over DSL line) to our main site without any issue. Here is my configuration: Main site: samba4 AD DC server1, plus a file server1, and a dedicated openVPN server site1: samba4 AD DC server2, plus a file server2, and a dedicated openVPN server with TUN connection to the main site

Perhaps someone with a sharper brain than I can solve this little mystery. I've Googled until I'm blue in the face, read all TFM's I can find, and tried several iptables rule combinations but just can't get the following to work. Here's my challenge: I have a CentOS-5.3 "main" server with a static public IP address running Apache, OpenVPN, and a bunch of other

Hi, I have a Linux firewall based on shorewall with 2 NIC and ADSL (ppp0). My ppp0 ip is fixed. The internal NIC, eth1, is bridged with tap0, tap1 and tap2 to form br0. br0 subnet is 192.168.2.0/24. The firewall is configured to masq internal traffic and block whatever needs to be blocked. It is also configured to tunnel openvpn v1.6. I have a roaming laptop running XP. I can create a tunnel

Hello all, Let's say I have an OpenVPN (v2) server sitting on a Linux machine with the IP address of, say, 192.168.10.1o. We are talking real address, assigned to a NIC on the machine. Now let us say the OpenVPN server hands out IP's in the 192.168.20.0/24range. And let us say that I want the machines able to reach the VPN server to be able to route to the machines available via the VPN.

Hi List, Our company has several small distributed offices we would like to inter-connect with bridged VPN a single subnet (last example in http://www.shorewall.net/OPENVPN.html). We have SIP phones in every office (up to 5) so we can use SIP without any NATing and securely. Max theoretical simultaneous calls possible ~30, but we have ~5-10 @ regular basis. OpenVPN server would be in the same

Hi all, I''m trying to use OpenVPN as a VPN solution on a firewall running Shorewall. The IPSEC VPN I tried first has shown a little bit unstable under several conditions, especially with Windows clients. As OpenVPN is best run in ''bridged'' mode (see http://fedoranews.org/contributors/florin_andrei/openvpn/), I became interested in the bridge capabilities of

Hi, Etienne Thanks for your clarification, and this helped a lot. And in order to get a better understanding for the mechanism of Tinc and the purpose of ConnectTo statement, can I think the ConnectTo is the way to get the node into the Tinc VPN domain, instead of establish VPN connection between nodes. Once any node ConnectTo the Tinc VPN domain, it learns all other nodes, subnets, and

hey friends, I have installed OpenVPN 2.0.7 (i386-redhat-linux-gnu [SSL] [LZO] [EPOLL] built on Apr 29 2006) on Centos4.0 through rpm (diag repository). The network scenario of my office is below Remote Client ----> Internet <-------> Cisco Pix Firewall (Gateway) <----> VPN Server & LAN Clients

If you have multiple ConnectTo statements in your tinc.conf, then tinc will attempt to establish connections with *all* of them. It is not a fallback, though it is a good idea for every node to have at least two direct connections for improved resiliency and fault tolerance. As to whether you should have just one tinc network or multiple networks, well, that depends on what you're trying to
