Need help with IP Configuration

Hi

I m using Windows 10 (as my server license is 2003 and quiet obsolete) as host system
With OpenVPN i open a tunnel to my IP provider and get via this tunnel one external IP address and also by this tunnel a /29 subnet

When I configure all the IPs to my openvpn adapter, i can ping all ips, just to see they are workingBut surely I want to use my subnet in my vmware images
But I tried to bridge the IPs to the OpenVPN adapter, and manually configure the subnet ip in my vmware session
I tried with the default bridging network, and also a custom network bridge which i configured to use the external ip from the subnet as dhcp ip's

i dont know what else i already tried...since 4 days i m trying to get access by internet to my vm's

any hints?

Yes, I m using Windows 10 with VMware Workstation 12
alternative, if the windows OS is the issue, i can switch to win2k3 serveri cant use linux here, as the host will do some special work i wont run in the vm

Host system firewall is ok, i can ping the IPs when i add them to the nic
VMware firewall disabled, so system is ztotally open..if there would be any traffic...

has anyone bridged successfully his openvpn conenction on host into a vmware image?

please read what i wrote before...

Firewall is ok, and surely OpenVPN is working fine on host

The question is, has anyone used OpenVPN Client on host and tried to bridge this network
or is it possible via routing to a host only (but i dont know how to do this on the windows host, as i dont have iptables like in linux)
