Hello, I'm experimenting with setting up a VPN so I can have friends VPN in to my LAN and play a LAN game of warcraft III. I have my XP system set as the server with the TAP virtual NIC and the real NIC set to bridge.
2 clients have tried connecting, and while I can ping them and see thier shares, etc... and they can see mine, a hosted game refuses to showup on the client (and vice-versa). I ran a port scan on the remote client system, and the WC3 port 6112 shows up.Is it possible that the VPN isn't sending broadcasts across?
Any ideas I could try?
Here's the server config (.ovpn):
dev tap dev-node tap-bridge server-bridge 192.168.15.106 255.255.255.0 192.168.15.200
192.168.15.254 keepalive 10 120 client-to-client ca ca.crt cert server.crt key server.key # This file should be kept secret dh dh1024.pem verb 3I noticed this error from the server when started:
Tue Apr 19 00:13:39 2005 us=167630 TAP-WIN32 device [tap-bridge] opened: \\\\.\\Global\\{E337A46B-B8C1-4B40-9134-64761FA0BB7B}.tap ....

but the network starts fine.
I thought maybe broadcasts aren't being passed, so I set bcast-buffers 256 but I see this on screen, so I'm not sure if broadcasts are being passed throught the VPN correctly:
