Hello!
I downloaded Openvpn yesterday, and managed to get it set up as a server on
our linux machine (i think - it's listening for requests anyway!).
I am now having problems with the windows version.
I installed the .exe version which seemed to install ok.
I created a new connection (so now i actually have 2 new virtual adapters -
i didn't realise the installer had set one up) and renamed it to saglanvpn.
doing openvpn --show-adapters shows the two adapters properly.
however, when i run the following command, route complains that it can't add
the route.
G:\Communications\OpenVPN>bin\openvpn --dev tap --dev-node saglanvpn
--config tls-home.conf

The route addition failed: Either the interface index is wrong or the
gateway do
es not lie on the same network as the interface. Check the IP Address Table
for
the machine.

G:\Communications\OpenVPN>
Now, according to the docs, the example home.up file has an environment
variable $5 (which would be %5 on windows). to make sure this was working i
change the $5 to the ip address of 192.168.3.2 and then 192.168.3.3 (they
should be the endpoints of the VPN).
This still didn't work as you can see.
i added a pause to the config file to see what happened.
When this is added, the adapter does come up, as the little red X in the
systray in windows disappears. however, when i do an ipconfig (while the
script is paused) to show what ip address it has, the address is 0.0.0.0
even though i've specified the address and mask in the adapter general tab
in windows.
the tls-home.conf which i edited from the example file is as follows:
#
# Sample OpenVPN configuration file for
# home using SSL/TLS mode and RSA certificates/keys.
#
# '#' or ';' may be used to delimit comments.
# Use a dynamic tun device.
# For Linux 2.2 or non-Linux OSes,
# you may want to use an explicit
# unit number such as "tun1".
# OpenVPN also supports virtual
# ethernet "tap" devices.

# OpenVPN uses UDP port 5000 by default.

# If you built OpenVPN with
