Sorry for the waste of bandwidth, but I have decided, rather
than trying to figure out this weird anomaly, I would just install the open VPN
service on a machine on the inside of my network rather than on the gateway
machine. Everything is working fine now but now when I reboot the gateway,
my laptop does not seem to re-acquire the connection once the gateway comes back
online. Is there some sort of setting that I can put in the config file to
tell my laptop vpn to retry connections if it is broken on a regular
basis? Curiously, my laptop does not seem to recognize that the connection
went down. Any help with this would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Subject: [Openvpn-users] Weird issue with
Winroute firewall and Open VPN
Ok, I have been trying to figure out what this issue could
be for some time now and I have not been able to come up with much. I
run Open VPN on a W2K3 gateway machine that is running Winroute Pro for the
firewall. Here is my issue. If I run the Open-VPN setup on the
machine I can establish a connection with from a remote client with no
problems. The problem I have is whenever I have to reboot my
machine. On every reboot, I run into an issue that I can not
re-establish a VPN tunnel until I re-install the Open-VPN package on that
machine. I just re-run everything the adapter gets reinstalled with the
same config information that I had previously and viola. I have tried
making the Winroute service dependent on the Open VPN service but that has not
seemed to work. Any ideas?
