Try moving the TAP adapter to the bottom on the binding list, as is described in the FAQ and see if that fixes the problem. The process by which a new network adapter gets bound into the network stack is a fairly complex process, and Windows does this all on it own -- it gives the driver itself very little control of this process. *************** >From FAQ: I installed OpenVPN on Windows, and now the TAP-Win32 adapter seems to have become the default adapter for certain functions. How can I make my Ethernet adapter the default again? When a new network adapter is added, Windows tends to put it at the top of its internal adapter list, making it the default for certain functions. In many cases this is undesired -- unfortunately I'm not aware of any way that the TAP-Win32 driver installer can programmatically override this default. Luckily, this can be fixed manually by going to Control Panel / Network Connections / Advanced / Advanced Settings. In the top subwindow of the dialog box, move the TAP-Win32 adapter down from the top position.
