Problem with Openvpn

Hi everybody,

I've got a problem with using an openvpn connection. Please look below at
the draft:

WinXP "br0-eth0" 192.168.1.5 --- 192.168.1.1 "br0-eth0" Linux

Till now everything is working, I mean I can ping interface eth0-br0(LAN) on
Linux side and the same on the WinXP side and all other hosts in this
subnet.
Linux server also has an eth1(WAN) interface with IP address: 83.90.12.3
which I use to connect to the Internet and I would like to ping this subnet
(83.90.12.0) over the VPN connection from WinXP side.
It would be very good if you can help me to solve this problem.

Thank you, best regards,
Wojtek

Enable IP forwarding on your Linux box
echo 1 >/proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward

You may also need to set up NAT on the Linux box, as your VPN
192.168.1.0 network is in the range of the private network address
space, and traffic from such networks is generaly not forwarded to
public networks.
