Re: [Openvpn-users] tun Device Error --try 2

Okay. So maybe it's not the ifconfig statement.

But right after it, this looks like OpenVPN is calling a script called 
sales.up. What do you have in this script?

Looks like whatever you have, the syntax is incorrect for the route 
command. The route command has a different syntax on each platform. By 
the way, James, OpenVPN isn't supporting the --route statement for Mac, 
at least for Panther--had to create a route up script myself for that 
platform.

Ryan, try disabling the up script, and see if you get a connection. If 
you do, then add the route manually with the route(8) command, until you 
get it right.

Syntax would be something like:

route add -net 10.0.0.3 -netmask 255.0.0.0 gw 192.168.0.187

Choose an appropriate netmask for the remote network. If you have 
multiple interfaces on the 192.168.0.7, you'll have to specify the 
interface (don't know the command offhand--man route). Then it looks 
like you could use the variables passed by OpenVPN in your script as 
follows:

route add -net $5 -netmask 255.0.0.0 gw $4

... or just add a --route to the configuration:

route 10.0.0.3 255.0.0.0
