trouble with win 7 64 bit

lostandlearning

Hi,

I'm able to connect to a VPN using OpenVPN and move traffic on two of my three computers. On my third machine, which is running Win7 64 bit unlike the others, OpenVPN says I'm connected, but my IP address doesn't change and no traffic goes through the TAP adapter. Here's the connection log I'm getting:

Add this option to this problematic client:

route-delay 60 60

Hi Mimiko,

I did as you suggested, but the problem remains. Here's a snip of the log

Mon Oct 15 10:12:48 2012 NOTE: FlushIpNetTable failed on interface [32] {9F638EEA-C59F-4B81-876D-BDD37D77EDE6} (status=1168) : Element not found.

followed by a stream of test route attempts that failed.

Here's my config file from the client:

By the way, did you run OpenVPN with elevated privileges? Does the tun adapter exists in the system?

Hello,

I have been using Windows 8 Enterprise 64-bit with OpenVPN 2.3.2 client and getting warning messages during the connection setup. It also takes unusually long to bring up the TAP adapter and when the client is finally connected, I cannot access any of the resources through the VPN. The static routes are added successfully to the OS.

The log shows only the two following error messages:
Wed Nov 06 09:59:14 2013 us=494129 NOTE: FlushIpNetTable failed on interface [50] {82CEF2CF-C500-4316-B7C4-27581603B814} (status=1168) : Element not found.
[...]
Wed Nov 06 09:59:46 2013 us=712626 Initialization Sequence Completed With Errors ( see http://openvpn.net/faq.html#dhcpclientserv )

I have set the openvpn.exe and GUI files to run as administrator. I also tried to turn off Windows UAC, it did not help.

I also have the following two lines in the config:
route-method exe
route-delay 2
Also tried with route-delay 10, no improvement.

With the exact same configuration, a Windows XP machine and an Android phone can successfully connect to the same server.

Does anyone has any idea what is the problem?

I have the same problem! The error only occurs on Windows 8. Tell me how to fix it!?
