Tap installs, but doesn't show up in ipconfig.

Post by mudfight » Tue Jan 11, 2011 9:16 pm

Hi guys.

My servertap is refusing to assume any ip configuration.

I've create a working test environment. so i assume i the hang of th"e configuration.
(keys from test environment are generated on production server)

The tap is visible in the "Network connections" ip protocol is enabled.
But "ipconfig" does not show the adapter tap al, nothing nada.

Relevant info:
xp sp3 fully updated
mc affee (I did trie with the firewall turned off)
Removed/reinstalled openvpn (Stable 2.1.4)
Tried to manualy assign an ip

It apears the tap installation is ging wrong, but what ..


here is the part where its going wrong in the vpnserverlogs.

Hello,

Yeah. Something is wonky with your installation. Try this from a command line and post your output:

cd \program files\openvpn\bin
tapinstall.exe findall tap0901

wow what verb were you using in that logfile!?
verb 5 is the max you should need for troubleshooting

try adding this to your config

Code: Select all

route-method exe
if that does not work, try this instead

Code: Select all

ip-win32 netsh

I'm going to take that bet :)

I want to emphasize the fact there the network adapter does not show up in ipconfig after tapinstallation en before starting the server config. While i'm pretty sure it should show up before starting the config.

Anyway i could be wrong so, below my configs

At command prompt, type set devmgr_show_nonpresent_devices=1, and then press ENTER. Type Start DEVMGMT.MSC, and then press ENTER. Click View, and then click Show Hidden Devices. Expand the Network Adapters tree
tell me what you see or post a screenshot if you prefer

two of our clients doesn't connect and present the same behavior of mudfight.
Our thread is: topic7537.html
Sorry I haven't posted here, but the search in the forum with "could not get adapter index" results always "No suitable matches were found".
(I found this thread with a google.com search on the same string)

One of them, I'm sure, has McAfee Antivirus+Firewall installed, so we can suspect something related to and old McAfee that hook the interface and damage the WinSock from a past post:
http://openvpn.net/archive/openvpn-user ... 00012.html
?
Do you want to test WinSockFix ?

Hell ya !!!!!!

That worked. it really does reset all ipsettings too. So it made me worry there for a minute cause i wasn't able to connect :roll: duh ...

So in short i have a tunnel running as i'm typing. No extended testing done, but ping and netbios are already working so i'm pretty confident i will work.

btw i use winsockxpfix dowloaded via majorgeeks, since i could find the original homepage (no crappy downloadsoftware)

Its a bit older as it seems but it did it !
Thanks for the sugestions an letting me be your guinnipig :P

Ok one downside left. When your going to add a tap. geuss what.

It screws things up again. In ip config you will see the same number of devices as before adding a tap. but the previous tap has assumed the name of (in my case) the first installed nic.

Running winsockxpfix did work as it seems but if your need to add taps in production i'd tend to investigate further. Maybe discard mcaffee on xp. btw W7+mcaffee (same version) didnt have any problem with the taps.

so this is it for me Goodluck ya'll

What SP version of XP do you have?
To see it, open a cmd and type:
winver
it show Windows 5.1 Service Pack something

What kind of McAfee do you use?
