[Resolved] Windows 7 client does not connect

willebil

I have set up an openVPN server on Linux, and try to connect to it using a Windows 7 Ultimate (64bit) to connect. The OpenVPN client asks for username and password, and then seems to stall. No connection is coming in on the server, so I have checked the client log. This has the following:

I have searched for some time on an explantion but have not found any explanation on what is going wrong. ANy help is appreciated.

I used default OpenVPN setup on Ubuntu, the log posted here is from the Windows 7 client. It aborts/does not setup any connection.

Client software is downloaded http://openvpn.net/index.php/access-server/download-openvpn-as-sw/357.html version reported is OpenVPN Client 1.5.6.

Is this enough, or do you need more information?

I might be confused by the answer to your post since this is my second Linux box that I am setting up like this, and in the old configuration it worked like a charm. Different laptop, difference server but definitly the software. Log messages does not reveil anything new, will look further for solutions. Thanks anyway for the very fast response, much appreciated.

Found out the issue, but dumb in all honesty...local firewall was blocking outbound traffic op port 1194, connection never came in the OpenVPN server.
