Unable to use HOST DNS on CLIENT

Post by msroy » Fri Sep 28, 2012 1:13 am

Hello All!

AS is setup on UBUNTU and client is on WINDOWS XP.

The HOST DHCP options are pushed successfully to the client, they show up on the TAP-WIN32 yet the client does not use them, it uses its own DNS entries.

Please assist in resolving.

Many thanks in advance.

try adding

Code: Select all

register-dns
to the client config - this is not an OpenVPN issue but a Windows issue where it does not pick up the new DNS settings until you do a

Code: Select all

  net stop dnscache
  net start dnscache
