Hello,

I am new to Open VPN. the software company i work for uses OpenVPN to connect our Users to our Cloud server for one of our applications to work. On the client machine when i install OpenVPN 2.2.0 i place the Cert files and key files in the config folder and when trying to start up the Open VPN i get an error saying

NOTE: could not get adapter index for {CFA0266A-948D-4B3F-A6E1-81D52D7C90E7}

This is Ocurring on a 2003 server R2 SP2

the following is the config file we are using. the .ovpn file

# Specify that we are a client and that we
# will be pulling certain config file directives
# from the server.

# unless you partially or fully disable
# the firewall for the TUN/TAP interface.

# from the Network Connections panel
# if you have more than one. On XP SP2,
# you may need to disable the firewall

# To use this feature, you will need to generate

Any and all help would be appreciated.

Have you tried removing and reinstalling the adapter using the batch files in C:\Program Files\OpenVPN\bin ?

[rmedina3801]

I have tried that a couple of times to see if it would work. but with no success.

[george]

Please post the output of:

Code: Select all

openvpn.exe --show-net

[rmedina3801]

This is what i was able to get using that command. the bottom does not show the Tap-Win32 adapter v9. it is as if it does not see it.


C:\Program Files\OpenVPN\bin>openvpn.exe --show-net

Add to the config file:

Code: Select all

route-delay 10 60
ip-win32 ipapi
route-method exe

and see if it helps.
