Hello,
I keep seeing that it’s possible to run OpenVPN on
Vista however I cannot get it to work on a laptop with Vista Business
installed. OpenVPN 2.1_rc4 installs flawlessly and the drivers appear to
install without issues as well. Initially I’ve tested this client/server
setup on Windows XP and it works flawlessly.
When I connect the client on Vista (using the GUI tool) it
appears to connect successfully however no traffic will route via the ‘new’
interface. When I look in the log I get the following errors:
NOTE: FlushIpNetTable failed on interface [18]
{CE78FFF2-3B21-4A7F-931E-6D07AE329934} (status=5) : Access is denied.

Are there fixes or work arounds to this? I cannot find
anything and the archives only go back to April.
