Dear List,
I am currently using LEAF-Bering uClibc 2.3 on a WRAP platform with 3
NICs. One NIC is for ADSL-PPPOE, the second for internal networks and
the third for a WLAN access point. To protect the WLAN, I use OpenVPN to
connect clients with Windows XP.
Because of problems with MS share browsing (it doesn't behave at all
well with a mixture of domain and non-domain members as clients, some
client can get a browse list over a router and others cannot. Samba with
WINS support is used as the domain controller), I wanted to change the
OpenVPN from a tunnelled connection to a bridged one (so I can browse
for shares over the WLAN).
I seem to be stuck where I need to set up the bridging device br0 on the
LEAF box, but can't find how (I'm not a Linux expert). I have read all
the howto's forOpenVPN and LEAF in bridge mode but am still missing a
part of the picture somehow. I want to use LEAF as a firewall, of
course, but the howto for bridging says that this is not possible. Maybe
I am misunderstanding it?
My LEAF box is set up:
etho -> PPPOE -> Internet
eth1 -> 192.168.0.0/24 -> Router -> 192.168.1.0/24 -> Clients / Servers
eth2 -> 192.168.10.0/24 -> WLAN AP (Bridges) -> XP Laptops
So I want to set up bridging for the WLAN link such that the OpenVPN
packets that are decrypted by the LEAF box send them out of eth1 with
appropriate addresses (delivered to the OpenVPN clients by the OpenVPN
package on the LEAF box itself).
The client side seems to work OK and I can get a connection to the LEAF
box, with the client receiving new IP and routing information over the
OpenVPN link. But the connection is imcomplete and the clients sit
sending ARP requests for the 192.168.0.0 network that do not get answered.
Is there a way of achieving this, or do I want the impossible ?
Many thanks,
R
