Are you saying that you can't use locally shared drives (not VPN) without internet access? That will make Amahi unworkable for me. Is there anything else I can do to try to troubleshoot mapping to the share?

Hmmm. When I browse to the server IP using on another system, I see the shares. So that looks ok. But I can't map a drive to the shares using either \\hda or using the IP of the server. Not sure why I can't access the shares.

I currently have no Internet service, and it will be out for a couple of days. My router is working, and i am able to use my amahi server for DHCP. However I am not seeing my shares. Also when I connect to my console (using my phone), it shows that my hda is stopped. Is Internet accessrequired in or...

I am currently unable to connect. But I did successfully connect earlier in the week (same ISP and firewalls) when I first installed OpenVPN. The problem I was having then was that while I was connected, I couldn't access a share. But the connection itself showed successful on the OpenVPN tester and...

I'm sorry, I'm not following you. Which manual changes are you referring to? I'll be happy to do that, but I did connect to the VPN earlier (both the OpenVPN tester and connection from another network were successful) on the same ISP/firewall setup I am using now. That was when I was connecting from...

Interesting...now when I try to connect from a different network, I get the following error message:

Options error: Unrecognized option or missing parameter(s) in HomeHDA.ovpn:16: tis-auth (2.1_rc15)

Googling this error message didn't readily turn up anything. Thoughts?

I'm still not connecting to the VPN. I was connecting the other evening before I changed my network IP and HDA IP, but I couldn't access a shared drive. We thought that might have been because the address of the network I was connecting from was the same as the address of the network I was connectin...

Well, I changed the IP address of my network and my HDA. However, when I log into my console at Amahi.org, it still shows the prior network address, HDA address, and gateway address. I believe I saw on another forum entry that this may not be a problem. But when I run the OpenVPN Tester, I get to th...

Thanks bigfoot65. I see on the troubleshooting page that is says "Make sure your HDA's network IP range is different than that of the remote network. (e.g. if your HDA's IP address is 192.168.1.X, you cannot connect to it on a remote network also using 192.168.1.X)". However, I'm not sure ...

Thanks, bigfoot65. I'm just now getting around to working with this again. I downloaded and installed OpenVPN server, and now I appear to be successfully connecting via VPN. (The HDAConnect GUI says I'm connected.) However I still cannot access a drive that I have shared on my server when connected ...
