IP communication (ping) always requires two directions - sender to receipient, and then *answer* from receipient back to sender. Your setup sounds like "OpenVPN clients to internal network should work fine" (unless iptables block it, your setup is way too complicated here for a start), but "the internal network does not know where to send reply packets". So you either need to add a NAT rule for outgoing packets towards "internal network", or the hosts there need a route *back* for the OpenVPN clients "to the OpenVPN router". As I said - get a textbook on TCP/IP + basic routing, before trying complex setups with multiple servers, multiple layers of iptables, and much added complexity that we're not going to debug for you. >gert Hi Gert, Thank you so much. the problem is that I must enable the IP forwarding. In this mailing list and other places on the Internet, I read that the IP Forwarding must be disabled. I enabled it and ping worked, but I can't ping the targets by their names.
