OpenVPN for windows 2003 clients
Posted: Sat Aug 21, 2010 7:04 pm
Hiya!
I have setup an OpenVPN server recently. I got it tested on multiple Windows XP users and it is working great!.
However when I have it tested on a Windows Server 2003, I encountered several problems.
Problem situation: Windows Server 2003 client started OpenVPN interface and downloaded the configuration for OpenVPN server. A while after he clicked connect, the windows 2003 RDP connection will be dropped; Basically the server's internet connection seems to be down thereafter.
I have checked the OpenVPN server logs and it something like the following:
client XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX:PORT: MULTI: Bad address from source from client [XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX]
Yes. It shows both the external ip for the windows server 2003 client.
I am thinking whether is it a Windows Server 2003 problem as I have no problems with Windows XP users. It might be that in Windows Server 2003, I might need to do a little bit of configuration beforehand. I have googled but to no avail except for several hints on configuring the Routing and Remote access part but I dont have the idea on how to do that.
Basically, I need the Windows Server 2003 client (The machine itself) to be able to have Remote Desktop available for its users, while at the same time the users is able to use OpenVPN to connect to the internet (the users at this point of time, is using the RDP service).
Would anyone kindly point me to the correct direction?
Thanks!
