Hi, We have a Windows client, and when we connect we would like to have static ip configured. I have seen a lot of examples, but to me it seems its for linux clients. I have the following default configuration in the conf file **************************************************************' client dev tun proto udp remote 3192 resolv-retry infinite nobind cipher BF-CBC comp-lzo remote-cert-tls server persist-key persist-tun ping 30 ping-restart 60 max-routes 300 verb 3 -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE----- hjkhjk -----END CERTIFICATE----- -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE----- hjkhjkhjhjk -----END CERTIFICATE----- -----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY----- hjkhjk -----END RSA PRIVATE KEY----- ************************************************************** My question is what do I need to add to this configuration file to have the following static ip all the time 192.168.1.1 255.255.0.0 ? This ifconfig-push things I have seen I cannot get to work Thanks for answers Regards Andreas

It can [b]only[/b] be configured on the server.

My question is what do I need to add to this configuration file to have the following static ip all the time 192.168.1.1 255.255.0.0 ?

The same works for all clients.

You cannot .. not if you want it to work.

That is how it is done and you must do it on the server.

Hi,

Thanks for fast reply.

You say I must configure it on the server, now thats a challenge since I dont have access to the server.
Is there any other way to have my openvpn use the same static address every time ?

It can only be configured on the server.

Hi again,

Ok I understand. Well I guess I have misunderstood my challenge.
The setup of this solution we have are a bit strange, but now I know what I need to accomplish, but not sure how to do it.

What we need is not to have the server configure a static ip, but we need to set a static ip on the "TAP-Windows Adapter V9", and off course the challenge is that when we connect with the openvpn, this configuration is cleared, but somehow when we have configured it once it is okay the first time we connect with openvpn. But if we disconnect or restart the server, and then again connect with openvpn, it fails.
I know it sounds strange, but thats how it is... so the question is, how can we configure 1. Set a static ip on the "TAP-Windows Adapter V9", and then connect the openVPN ? I guess we need to create some kind of script....

Thanks again for reply.

Regards
Andreas
