I recommend installing openvpn 2.x series, using certificates and the
TLS server
directive. And consider using routing and tun to avoid broadcast
packets entering
the network.



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

yes it can, but not in openvpn 1.x, you need openvpn 2.x and tls server for that.



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.

Why would 2.x have the same problem?


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

yes it is. Read all the documentation on the openvpn homepage.


do you think it's b-cast packets that are causing my network to be killed?

They can be if there are too many broadcast packets.


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?

It can be done on windows as well.
