Netbios names not resolving on openvpn client (bridge-enabled openvpn_2.2.2-2 package)

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I have installed Optware based (openvpn_2.2.2-2 package with bridging enabled 
by default).

I am using 'dev tap0' in my openvpn configuration.  However, no matter what I 
do, I can't figure out how to get Netbios to work.  I am using all the default 
settings/configurations/subnets that come with the latest full firmware + 
optware + openvpn package.

I have tried many different things unsuccessfully.  I am hoping someone would 
be kind enough to please offer the easiest possible way to enable full 
bi-directional traffic (including netbios) between my LAN and VPN client.

You know, it's old package and it wasn't properly configured. You can use new 
firmware version. OpenVPN server is in webgui now. It seems it's not present in 
'Downloads' so it need to be built yourself...

Thanks for the quick reply.  Sorry, I'm not very experienced.  I just followed 
WIKI instructions for installing Optware and OpenVPN.  The instructions were 
very easy to follow.  I currently have the latest full firmware installed.  

Is there step by step instructions on how to install OpenVPN with webgui 
support (to have full bridging/netbios support)?  If not, it would be great to 
have instructions for people to upgrade from old openVPN package (cleanly 
uninstall and install version of openvpn support for webGUI).

You can try this one http://db.tt/0O5HVhev, which was built with rev 
00fc7e9d1526 for test purposes. (almost full version, transmission is excluded).
In VPN Server choose OpenVPN protocol and configure TAP-bridge, also try 
'Routing all client's traffic through the VPN?' - Yes

Thats very nice!  I really appreciate it!  So, openvpn is completely integrated 
and usable in firmware RT-N56U_3.4.3.6-066_full?  So, I'm guessing ultimately 
this firmware will be available to the public in the next official public build?

What happens with the existing old Optware and OpenVPN I have installed already 
(on USB SSD stick per Wiki install instructions)?  Ideally, I would prefer to 
have as clean of an image as possible.

Thanks again for all your hard work and time!

Well, lets say 'completely integrated and usable' is in progress, I think.
You can remove openvpn Optware package:
# ipkg remove openvpn2.2

I just have 3 more questions:

1. Does 'ipkg remove openvpn2.2' remove all traces of the package; including 
config/temp files?  Ideally, I dont want to have any traces of the old package; 
even if orphaned files/directories are harmless, I would still prefer to have 
it clean (as if I never had installed OpenVPN before).

2. Is your intention to include OpenVPN rev 00fc7e9d1526 in the next/upcoming 
public firmware release?  If not, will I have any issues upgrading to the next 
public firmware versions that don't include OpenVPN (if I install firmware 
RT-N56U_3.4.3.6-066_full).

3. If you already have OpenVPN working correctly (with some basic webGUI 
options); except for transmission, what is still left that's "in progress"?  
I'm guessing you have a good reason for not including OpenVPN yet.  I just want 
to make sure that I dont introduce any new issues that I didn't have before (or 
lose features) just to fix my current OpenVPN 2.2 problem (not all traffic is 
routed to VPN clients).

1. The "remove" command don't delete any temporary files. You can remove its 
manually later.

2. All of commits are cumulative.

3. You can install the latest firmware with OpenVPN (f.e. 068_full)
