[Openvpn-users] One problem

["John E. Peterson" <john.peterson@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Actually, I do have one problem.  The following is my server.ovpn file (the 
names have been changed to protect the innocent).  When I start (using the 
gui method) the server (using "connect") it all seems to start fine.  But if 
I do an ipconfig, I see that the OpenVPN port has an "I can't get an 
address" default IP of 169.xxx.xxx.xxx.  I had to go in and force an ip 
address of 99.99.99.4

Is it because the server IP is outside the block of servered IP's?  Or 
something else?

Once I forced the IP on the server everything worked fine.  And mutiple 
clients can connect and get proper addresses from the 99.99.99.101 - 108 
block.

The file follows.....
VVVVVVVVVVVVVV

port 1194

proto udp

dev tap

ca ca.crt
cert server.crt
key server.key  # This file should be kept secret

dh dh1024.pem
