Waiting for TUN/TAP interface to come up...

[iss42]

Hello

On several machines, XP & Vista, I frequently get this error where the TUN/TAP message repeats and then "Initialization sequence completed with errors". In this case the VPN does not work.
After reconnect it often doesnt give this error and works but not always.

Any help appreciated.

Thanks

Hello

When reconnects dont work I have found a work around which is to disable the network adapter in Windows and re-enable it then start OpenVPN.
Not an ideal solution for the users though - any help still needed and appreciated.

I assume you've tried what the page said:

You can also try changing the ip-win32 setting to a non-DHCP method. For example:

* ip-win32 netsh
* ip-win32 ipapi
* ip-win32 manual

Correct?
