OpenVPN no write permision


Hi, I installed OpenVPN at work and when connecting everything looks ok. I can open folders and read files, but i can not write to them. Tried making a test folder with chmod 777, but i still get a message from windows saying I do not have permission to create folder or file.

Can this be a sambaproblem or do you believe it is a OpenVPN config problem? I have another working openvpn installation on a different computer (at home). This seems to work just fine and I have been using this as a reference to look for errors during installation and configuration.

Any crazy ideas would be great cause at the moment I'm looking for a ghost.

openvpn is only there to tunnel a connection between you and the vpn server which then allows you to access the network the vpn server is on - everything else is bejond openvpn

if you can get on the network and view files openvpn is working fine and the issue is somewhere else - if you are accessing a samba server - try accessing it directly on the network with the same username and password you used when accessing from remote.
