i thought the bridge/tap/tun device could handle multiple connections... i am
only running one instance of ovpn on winxp pro.

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 want to confirm the problem.

not sure what you mean by using routing and tun to avoid b-cast
packets? is this done in the ovpn conf file?

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, is this
the only possibility for ovpn to run multiple instances? or can it
also be done on windows?

thanks again,
sg

this is my server's conf:

# dev tap
# ifconfig 200.1.1.165 255.255.255.0
# secret key.txt
# ping 10
# comp-lzo
# verb 4
# mute 10


# remote [myremote]
dev tap
dev-node OpenVPN
ping 5
secret key.txt
