Hello, I'm trying to determine if it is possible to create a TUN/TAP driver for Windows NT 4 so openVPN can be run on that platform. I know that the current TUN/TAP driver for win32 doesn't support NT 4; however, in the documentation they imply that it can be done, although stability would be sacrificed: http://openvpn.net/INSTALL-win32.html "To a certain extent, backwards compatibility with NT 4 has been sacrificed in the interest of better usability and stability on Win2K/XP." In the same document it's stated that openVPN's TUN/TAP driver is derived from CIPE. Then I found the following post by James Yonan: http://openvpn.net/archive/openvpn-users/2004-02/msg00042.html ---------------------------------------------------- > Does Open VPN run on NT 4 or only W2K/XP Only W2K and up (that's because it needs NDIS 5 which isn't available on NT). James ----------------------------------------------------- So, here are a couple of questions: 1. Is there any missing feature on NDIS 4 that prevents the construction of a TUN/TAP driver for NT 4? 2. Is it possible to use CIPE as a starting point for creating a TUN/TAP driver for NT 4 that can be used with openVPN? What would need to be done? Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance, Gerardo. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.
