[HELP] Enabling TAP Interface manually

Post by fahim74 » Fri Mar 15, 2013 1:38 pm

Can any one tell me what the text with red color means and how openvpn does it...using commandline or anyother way to activate TAP device...
when i manually type this :

netsh interface ip set address Local Area Connectio 2 static 10.254.112.25 255.255.248.0

it just sets the value. but in adapter setting under controle panel there is a cross mark i think TAP in not enabled or the value is not set to the TAP adapter ??? !!! :?:

how to open \\.\Global\{E8703CE2-5371-49DE-A8F2-68218EC99BDF}.tap and set the interface or how to enable the TAP interface... :roll:
