OpenVPN connecting inconsistently

[imirkin]

any help would be GREATLY appreciated !!!!

I have OpenVPN installed on several machines and the connection to the server is completely unreliable. It connects fine, then I close and relaunch OpenVPN and the connection fails. I reboot machine, connection fails. Try again randomly and it connects. Seems completely random.

When it does fail, the message I see is the following:

us=430000 OpenVPN ROUTE: OpenVPN needs a gateway parameter for a --route option and no default was specified by either --route-gateway or --ifconfig options
us=430000 OpenVPN ROUTE: failed to parse/resolve route for host/network: 192.168.9.1
