How do I get a Windows client to work ?

Post by OralDeckard » Fri Aug 21, 2009 3:06 am

:?:
I have a Linux server. My Linux clients access it just fine. But my Windows clients give the right indication in the CMD window, and ping the server just fine, but say "Windows cannot access the specified device, path or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item."

I have it set up as TUN, not TAP.
All the HowTos said Windows would need a TAP adaptor, even though specifying TUN. That never worked, so I commented it out, then everything worked EXCEPT actually seeing the shares.

I'm running in Administrator of all things, just to give it every chance, and I still lack permissions ???

I'm not sending any PUSH commands because I don't need DNS lookup of other servers. The only shares I want are the Samba shares on the server.

I'd sure appreciate any help you can provide.

Thank you!



DO I need a TAP adaptor ?
If so, how do you get them to work ?

My server.conf is working fine as far as I can tell. The Linux clients have no problem with it. Here it is:

Code: Select all

port 1194
proto udp
dev tun
ca ca.crt
cert server.crt
key server.key  # This file should be kept secret
dh dh1024.pem
server 10.8.0.0 255.255.0.0
ifconfig-pool-persist ipp.txt
keepalive 10 120
tls-auth ta.key 0 # This file is secret
comp-lzo
max-clients 10
user nobody
group nobody
persist-key
persist-tun
status openvpn-status.log
verb 6
mute 5
Here is my Windows client.ovpn:

Code: Select all

 client
dev tun
dev-node TAP-Win32 Adaptor v8
proto udp
remote 63.134.135.49 1194
resolv-retry infinite
nobind
persist-key
persist-tun
ca ca.crt
cert Oral.crt
key Oral.key
ns-cert-type server
tls-auth ta.key 1
cipher BF-CBC # Blowfish
comp-lzo
verb 6
mute 5
This is from the server when trying to serve a Windows client:
