mark1210 Hello, I'm running into this error message upon starting OpenVPN in Windows XP SP2: Sat Mar 26 11:30:07 2011 TAP-WIN32 device [OpenVPN] opened: \\.\Global\{3F6638EE -986B-4430-86BC-5DE854B89F53}.tap Sat Mar 26 11:30:07 2011 NOTE: could not get adapter index for {3F6638EE-986B-44 30-86BC-5DE854B89F53} Sat Mar 26 11:30:07 2011 Sleeping for 10 seconds...

I do see the OpenVPN Bridge in ipconfig: Ethernet adapter OpenVPN Bridge: Connection-specific DNS Suffix . : Description . . . . . . . . . . . : MAC Bridge Miniport Physical Address. . . . . . . . . : 02-FF-3F-66-38-EE Dhcp Enabled. . . . . . . . . . . : No IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.0.1 Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0 Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.0.254 DNS Servers . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.0.254 Attached is my configuration file: mode server proto udp port 1194 dev tap dev-node OpenVPN Bridge server-bridge 192.168.0.1 255.255.255.0 192.168.0.100 192.168.0.105 keepalive 10 120 tls-server tls-auth ta.key 0 comp-lzo client-to-client dh dh.pem ca ca.crt cert cert.pem key key.pem Network Specifics: This server is on 192.168.0.1, the gateway is 192.168.0.254, the subnet mask is 255.255.255.0 The OpenVPN Pool is outside of the DHCP Server scope (192.168.0.100-105.)
mark1210 Out of curiosity I did another fresh install this time without installing Service Pack 2, so basically a Windows XP Professional install without SP2 and the error message still occurs. Any suggestions?
janjust try putting single quotes around the name of the adapter (i.e. 'OpenVPN Bridge') Also, try opening a command window and run cd c:\Program files\openvpn\bin openvpn --show-adapters
