Eh? A /32 network (255.255.255.255) on a non-point-to-point interface is 
indicating that the only machine on your current network is yourself. 
This is broken for the obvious reasons. (If the only system on the 
network is you, who's your gateway to systems on other networks? After 
all, the gateway needs to be on your own network).

Maybe you're using ifconfig-pool-linear on your server (and thus 
anticipating that the remote side supports point-to-point mode)? If 
that's the case, you need to leave it out when you have Windows clients 
connected.


What do your config files look like?
