[Openvpn-users] Samba and openvpn: play nice together?

Friends-- I'm stumped! Cannot get mount.cifs to work over a tun connection. How would you trouble-shoot this? 1. It cannot be openvpn causing the problem: I can ping across the connection both directions on all machines. 2. It cannot be samba causing the problem: I can mount.cifs the smb s

Friends-- I have a Synology ds213j which since a recent update will not recognize the line in the server.conf that reads group nobody. If I comment out that line, it runs OK. (It still has the user nobody line, uncommented.) I have tried changing it to group nogroup and that does not help.

that would simulate a much more realistic environment and you'd be rid of the "double" reference to 192.168.0/24 on the VPN client. >> Go for it, >> >> JJK >> > JJK-- > > OK, went out and bought a new router today. I am running out of time > today to get it set up, and may not be able to look at
