Hello, thanks for OpenVPN, it is very nice compared to IPSec! I have one problem: On my Windows XP SP2 client, OpenVPN does *not* work unless I explicitly deactivate, then re-activate the TAP-Win32 adapter before starting OpenVPN. If I do this, everything works fine, I can connect (and reconnect many times) without problems. If I try to start OpenVPN without restarting the TAP-Win32 adapter, the following happens: OpenVPN correctly connects to the VPN server and then loops: ... TEST ROUTES: 0/0 succeeded len=1 ret=0 a=0 u/d=down ... Route: Waiting for TUN/TAP interface to come up... At the same time, the TAP-Win32 adapter is stuck in the "Netzwerkadresse beziehen" state. (German for "getting network address", i.e. it's sending out DHCP requests.) Everything remains stuck in this state until Windows decides there is no DHCP server and auto-assigns a 169.254.x.x address to the interface. :-( My setup: My WLAN is secured with OpenVPN 2.0, using a Linux server/router with the Debian 2.0beta14 package. There are also some Linux clients which work just fine. On the Windows client, I have used 2.0beta11+beta15 with identical results. I've also tried both "dev tun" and "dev tap", and tried "ip-win32 netsh" and "ip-win32 ipapi" - no difference! Disabling the personal firewall and virus checker did not help either. I've verified that "obtain IP address automatically" is selected in the TAP-Win32 adapter's configuration. The client config is appended below. Cheers, Richard PS: "ip-win32 netsh" is broken in beta15 - the netsh command complains that interface "tun" is invalid. Beta11 works fine in this respect. -- __ _ |_) /| Richard Atterer | GnuPG key: | \/¯| http://atterer.net | 0x888354F7 ¯ '` ¯ client dev tun tun-ipv6 proto udp remote 192.168.0.1 5000 resolv-retry infinite nobind mute-replay-warnings ca ca.crt cert client.crt key client.key comp-lzo verb 4 ifconfig 10.10.0.0 255.255.255.0 redirect-gateway local def1 ____________________________________________ Openvpn-users mailing list Openvpn-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/openvpn-users |
