Isn't it wierd that this option doesn't work for me though, when I set 
it? Is it supposed to break if there's only one driver? That wouldn't 
make sense to me. I have renamed the device to tun0:

Ethernet adapter tun0:

I wasn't certain if dev-node's non-acceptace was signifigant, and in 
this case, it's not signifigant, because I can get it to work.

Though tun0 works on the XP config anyhow.

Cannot remove the ifconfig line. It won't start, gives error:
Options error: On Windows, --ifconfig is required when --dev tun is used
Use --help for more information.
Press any key to continue...

route 10.101.1.0 255.255.255.0 10.101.1.13 WORKS !!!
<happy dance>

Omitting the route effectively disconnects me.

Changing the ccd... to have push "route ..." doesn't seem to work. 
Nothing seems to get pushed.
Taking the ifconfig out of the ccd works, the ifconfig in the ccd didn't 
seem to get pushed.


But, this is great! My routing ignorance was my blockage. Thank you Patrick!
