When I first hear "newbie", I think "newbie to [this project]", not "newbie to [the open source movement/good mailing list nettiquitte]". My apologies, then, for responding more harshly than was perhaps appropriate.

Well -- TCP is one thing, IP is another; you still need the latter when based on UDP, and I'm inclined to suspect that any OS that doesn't implement TCP is unlikely to be compatible with the BSD socket API for its UDP/IP implementation. ______________________ OpenVPN mailing lists https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/openvpn-users Warning: require_once(../../../archive_common.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/openvpn/domains/openvpn.net/public_html/archive/openvpn-users/2006-07/msg00092.html on line 202 Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required '../../../archive_common.php' (include_path='/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/openvpn/domains/openvpn.net/public_html/archive/openvpn-users/2006-07/msg00092.html on line 202 |
