IPCop/Zerian Open VPN connectivity for Windows 7...

[bwarner@servicead-in.com]

Well... been a frustrating day. We utilize IPCop routers with Zerina as VPN solution for our clients. All has worked well for clients with XP machines, but today we had our first run in with a Windows 7 client. We downloaded the OpenVPN Client 1.5.6 version and installed fine. We really like the simplicity of v 1.0.3, but are willing to move on to get Win 7 and Win 8 support. We simply create a Connection profile using the ovpn file generated as part of the zip from Zerina. It creates it, but we can never connect.

We check the OpenVPN log on the IPCop and it doesn't show anything. We have tried editing the file prior to import with no luck. Can someone clue us in here. All we really wanted was this 1.0.3 client for Windows 7, but it is not working as we get an error:

Wed Jan 16 12:38:27 2013 CreateFile failed on TAP device: \\.\Global\{C90171D6-2E27-42A4-A31E-565191F9A067}.tap
Wed Jan 16 12:38:27 2013 All TAP-Win32 adapters on this system are currently in use.

Thanks in advance.
