Dear All,

I configured samba-3.2.7 in opensuse11.1(serv1) box in my LAN1 and it is
working fine.
 
Later I configure openvpn p-to-p on the same "serv1".  I accessed "serv1"
from LAN2 (internet) , computer name: notebook-vista, using SSH through
openvpn tunnel and it was working fine.

I config samba and openvpn to access samba share in LAN2 using openvpn from
LAN2 in "notebook-vista". 
Initially I was able to open the samba share in "notebook-vista" computer.
Start-> run->cmd-> net use z: \\10.9.0.1\rb /user:kr

--------------------------
Samba share is not connected to "notebook-vista" when I tried from LAN2,
next day after restarting both server and client. But ssh is connected via
openvpn from client to Server. 
--------------------------
"notebook-vista"  - vista home premium operating system
Note: I enabled network sharing , network discovery, all user can able to
create a file/folder in "vista"

Start-> run->cmd-> net use z: \\10.9.0.1\rb /user:kr
System error 53 has occurred.
The network path was not found.
-------------------
 cmd-> net use  \\10.9.0.1\rb /delete
An active process is accessing this device.
You get more help if you type NET HELPMSG 2404th
---------------------
Still I am getting the same error and not getting samba share in my LAN2 via
openvpn in "notebook-vista"
Start-> run->cmd-> net use z: \\10.9.0.1\rb /user:kr
System error 53 has occurred.
The network path was not found.

Kindly intimate me where I done a mistake so that I could get the samba

Thanking You,
