Hi,
I updated my installation of my Windows 7 PC from version
2.3.4-I002-x86_64
to version
2.3.6-I601-x86_64.
On my Server (Ubuntu 14.04.1) I used apt-get to get the newest version.
What happens:
I can start the connection fine and everything looks good.
But the first ping to the server results in a bluescreen with
DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL
ndis.sys
I installed from the normal exe installer provided on the download page.
Has anybody experienced a similar thing?
Regards,
BadTenMan

I have experienced this many many times ... on machines which have never used OpenVPN.
My guess it is something to do with windoze.
Probably this thread should be in Off Topic ..

Thanks for the answer Traffic,
what did you do to solve this problem when you had it?
@Moderator: please move this to Off-Topic if it should be there.

The only "cure" I have ever found is to remove the software which causes the problem.
In my experience it has been down to the Firewall driver .. what firewall software is your Windows using ?
I have not seen it in relation to OpenVPN .. Try downgrading OpenVPN again.
What version of ndis.sys is it ?

currently I don't have access to that client and can't test. On another Client the old version still works fine.
Firewall is Windows Firewall. AV is Avira Antivir Pro (that one just manages the Win-Firewall settings).
I reinstalled the newest OpenVPN client but the error stayed.
When I have access to the not working client again, I will first try 2.3.4, then 2.3.5, then the newest one and give a report.
I will also check ndis version.

OpenVPN-***-i60x-*** is NDIS-6 compliant .. perhaps that is the problem .. try OpenVPN-***-i00x which is NDIS-5
Maybe try disabling the Avira Firewall ...

Hi,
thanks for the hint. I didn't know that there are two 64bit installers. I will try openvpn-install-2.3.6-I001-x86_64.
But: my ndis.sys version in system32/drivers is 6.20.
I also tested 2.3.4 which works perfectly fine.
Let's see if the openvpn-install-2.3.6-I001-x86_64 works fine.
EDIT: Works! Thanks a million, Traffic! You are my hero!
(still no clue what openvpn-install-2.3.6-I601-x86_64.exe is and why it does not work...)
