Right here's how my network goes

internet-->firewall-->router-->ubuntu server
........................................|
........................................|
........................................ -->Three other boxes

My default gateway is my router. Am not running and DNS on my LAN
The router is also the DHCP server

The ubuntu server is running VPN. I can connect to it from the internet with no problems.

When i connect to the ubuntu server via VPN, is there a way i can have access to the three other boxes on the LAN

AM i making any sense at all????

I can access the ubuntu server via its LAN address through a VPN pipe. I cant however access any other thing on the LAN.

Any help please????

Well, if the other boxes have NFS/Samba shares mounted on the server, then you should be able to access those. Makes sense?

Otherwise, don't use a VPN, but rather install SSH Server then you can do anything.

Cheers,

Herman
