Cool. I know that this is the case for XP (which I develop on), but I wanted to make sure that Win2K was the same in this manner. > If we don't have netsh on the system, we aren't going to run in to > problems, are we?

No, only the --ifconfig option on Windows will require the presence of netsh (isn't it part of Windows by default on Win2K and XP?). The other change I'm planning on making on the Windows side is doing an "arp -d *" command by default to refresh the MAC cache immediately after TAP-Win32 device open (the reason for this is discussed in the current OpenVPN-on-Windows install notes). Since some people might not want this, there will be a "--no-arp-del" option to disable this behaviour. But I think making it the default is important because the goal is to simplify the configuration and eliminate common gotchas for new users.
