I connect via vpn to systems in Bangalore, India (literally halfway around the globe from me) for work all the time. Distance and country doesn't impress me all that much, especially with connectivity available in today's networks. I also regularly travel those kinds of distances in my professional role. > I connected to the VPN using OpenVPN and NetworkManager (I've not had any problems > with it) and the following tunnel was created. > > tun0 Link encap:UNSPEC HWaddr 00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00 > inet addr:10.94.100.74 P-t-P:10.94.100.74 Mask:255.255.255.0 > > I enabled port forwarding on my router to transfer port 3389 to the internal Win2008 > server. > > I then used Remmina to create a connection to that system which goes from > Taiwan--->USA--->Taiwan. > > And I have now been connect for 15+ minutes. First, OpenVPN is different from vpnc. The only thing they have in common is that they are both essentially plugins for Network Manager. I wrote that there's an issue with vpnc. > Oh, just to clarify, I said you had 2 issues. DNS and RDP....I never suggested they > were linked. Sorry if you misunderstood me. ...Except that your diagnosis was wrong from the start, and I didn't misunderstand you there. I wrote repeatedly that there was not a DNS issue here and was supplying relevant information to show it. I think it was you who misunderstood me. I mentioned I had two issues, but they are Network Manager / vpnc and RDP. I never wrote that I had an issue with DNS. You must have me confused with someone else (Lawrence, perhaps?)... Glad rdp works for you. It doesn't on multiple systems over here, running both F16 and F17, with default configurations. I suppose that means you won't have anything to contribute to the BZ beyond "It works on my system", which is number 2 on the 10 most common things developers say when their software doesn't work. Number 1, but the way, is, "That's weird..."
