thanks for those hints (i will research the options you mention), i
wasn't aware that the server could only host one connection. i thought
the bridge/tap/tun device could handle multiple connections... i am
only running one instance on winxp pro. i suppose my users are only
ever connecting one at a time now...

does not running 2.x have more likelihood of the error i described
(e.g., network being killed) was this a known problem with 1.6? any
info on this? i have set my switch (cisco 2950) to filter the traffic
using flood control - if this port reaches a certain threshold, it is
supposed to filter it gracefully... hopefully it will and that will
cure my problem of network being killed.

not exactly sure what you mean by using routing and tun to avoid
b-cast packets? do you mean a firewall? do you think it's b-cast
packets that are causing my network to be killed?

sounds like ovpn might be  better suited for a *NIX machine.

i may set it up there, will it  handle multiple users w/ one NIC? do i
need multiple instances of ovpn to handle multiple users?

thanks again,
sg
