IP address issue

Post by msmoore » Wed Dec 08, 2010 1:06 am

Hello,

The IP address of the router to which I'm am using openvpn has changed. However, when I edit the .opvn file with the new IP address, it still looks for the old IP address and won't connect.

Any ideas?

Hello,

Are you using the IP address of the server or a host name?

Regards,
Stephen

I fixed it, sort of. I'm using the IP address of the server I'm tunneling into. When I use a different computer and edit the config file, to change to the new IP, it works. Then I copy that document to the other computer and it works there too.

Interesting...
