Re: [Openvpn-users] OpenVPN fails to connect w/SuSE 10

Since I never had any problems before I never paid attention to routing
table or ifconfig output so I haven't clue whats right or wrong. The
output iss attached below. 
The firewall is disabled at boot but I ran the stop script anyway.
It will not connect- something is wrong with the network setup- I wish I
knew what is different???!!!
