Openvpn and Amazon EC2 with Windows 2008

[nadin]

I was wondering if anyone has had problems running open vpn on windows 2008 Amazon ebs/ami image.

I have a vpn server running on a windows 2003 ec2 instance as well as two other 2003 instances that are connecting as clients. I also have several Windows 7 machines all connecting to the vpn server.

However the issue I have been having is with a windows 2008 ami/ebs instance. The client will connect, however I am not able to ping any of the other clients on the vpn (which I can from other machines). I am able to only ping (4-5 pings) while the initial connection is being established. Then all the pings time out (to and from the server). I have tried to use the various ip-win32 options as well.

Anyone have any idea as to what is going on?

I have tried openvpn 2.1.1,2.1rc22 and 2.2

I posted here as well with no help.

Please post logs from client and server at verb 5
the client should be from start to dropped connection
the server should be from first packet of client to dropped connection
