OpenVPN and LANs/ethernet bridging

L

hi

I want to make broadcasts and IPX packets to work beetween 2 computers,
these computers are connected to internet by ADSL.

I'm using OpenVPN to do that.
There is a client and a server, only that 2 computers (no others computers
in LANs are needed).
so i have to bridge 2 LAN's to allow broadcasts and IPX packets flow
between these 2 computers

my problem is that i can't connect with another comnputer to make a
'bridged connection',
that's my configuration:

I'm connected to internet by ADSL with dial-up connection, using WinXP.
Second computer is in another LAN and it's using Win2000.

In my computer (it will be a server) with WinXP
i have a 4 connections:
A. a psychical adapter '3com' connected to ADSL modem.
B. a psychical adapter 'VIA' connected to another computer in my LAN
C. a dialup connection 'neo' for my ADSL - it uses A connection.
D. TAP driver, named 'my-tap'

And the remote computer has 'my-tap' connection too.
Both LANs have subnet 192.168.0.x and 255.255.255.0 masks

I'm using help from:
http://openvpn.sourceforge.net/install32.html paragraph:
Notes -- Ethernet bridging, with the bridge occurring
on the Windows side.
-----------------------------------------------------
* First make a TAP-Win32 adapter ("tap-bridge") without setting
any TCP/IP properties.
ok, done, i have a 'my-tap' adapter

* Select tap-bridge and your ethernet adapter in Control Panel ->
Network Connections, then right click and select Bridge Connections.

now, which one 'etherner adapter' ?? that's what is used for my ADSL
modem?
when i'm using it, my dialup connection doesn't work and i have no
connection to internet.
When i use other 'ethernet adapter' that it's used to connect other
computer
in my LAN, that computer can't use it.
So, my problem is here, what i'm supposed to bridge ? my-tap and... ? i
can't figure it out.


---- config for server: ----
#remote 80.54.3.85 remote comp is behind firewall, i have to listen
dev tap
dev-node my-tap
# the up script contains one line: arp -d * --- there is a 'up.bat' in
the
right place
up up.bat
ping 5
#secret key
comp-lzo

----- config for client: -----
# that's a IP of server, my computer (with WinXP and bridge)
remote 80.50.133.12
port 5000
dev tap
dev-node my-tap
#secret key
ping 10
comp-lzo
verb 3


OpenVPN's can connect to each others with these configurations, but still,
something wrong is with bridging on the server computer.



thanks for reply in advance.
