Re: [Openvpn-users] fixed ip-address on winxp

[scartomail <scartomail@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hy Charles,

 

I know what you mean by not expecting the ipp.txt file to do the work by itself.

The "ifconfig-pool-persist ipp.txt" is in place in the server.conf file on the server.

Also the "server 10.8.0.0 255.255.255.0" directive is in the server.conf file.

 

However I am using the standard debian/sarge 2.0 version of openvpn.

My xp client is using 2.0.7.

 

As both directives above are completly ignored, I will install a backport of version 2.0.7 on the debian server. Maybe then the will communicate better.

 

Charles, this means you have xp clients working with the ipp.txt file?

Right, then it should work for me to.

 

I let you if the upgrade worked.
