I am using openvpn with bridging.

My local network:
10.1.1.0/24
eth1: 10.1.1.39
eth0: IP from ISP
VPN IPs: 10.1.1.253 and 10.1.1.254

I can ping 10.1.1.39 from the remote host and from the remote host to the vpn server but I cannot ping any other address on my 10.1.1.0/24 network.

I am thinking it is iptables but do not know how to troubleshoot.

I don't want to fill up the thread with a bunch of junk but if you need to see any of the config please let me know and I will post. I followed the how to from here: http://www.openvpn.net/index.php/ope...ion/howto.html

Thanks for any help.

I was able to add some logging and got this:

Nov 2 13:03:26 dolphin kernel: [ 1085.168914] FAIL! IN=br0 OUT=br0 PHYSIN=tap0 PHYSOUT=eth1 SRC=10.1.1.253 DST=10.1.1.196 LEN=84 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=64 ID=0 DF PROTO=ICMP TYPE=8 CODE=0 ID=18449 SEQ=16

10.1.1.196 is my laptop

What says ifconfig -a ?

wow I answered my own question.

I added these two lines and now I am able to ping:

iptables -A FORWARD -p icmp --icmp-type echo-request -j ACCEPT
iptables -A OUTPUT -p icmp --icmp-type echo-request -j ACCEPT
