Hey there,

i got a little problem on my openvpn server, it's a win 7 pc, i tried to go along this tutorial:
http://forums.openvpn.net/topic7806.html

everythings working fine so far, i can connect and ping my server from the client, but i can't Tick the box "Allow other network users to connect through this computer's Internet connection", everytime i try i get an error that it's not possible but just for the openvpn server connection (tap win32-adapter). the error code is (null)..... so i got no idea why.

any help very appreciated

Sincerely Visions

You want to share tap interface on OpenVPN server? You can't do this, as you will lose internet, because tunnel does not have an internet. You can do this only on client.
