OpenVPN on VMWare - Inital setup problems

Right, new to OpenVPN and only limited experience on Linux, but here goes:

Downloaded the VMWare ESX/ESXi ovf template and installed to my VMWare environment (as detailed here, I then turned the server on, changed the root and openvpn passwords, edited the default network adapter settings to match a free addreess within my LAN and then tried to run the APT-GET UPDATE command to make sure that DEBIAN was fully up to date, what I get is:

Failed to fetch http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian....... temporary failure resolving 'ftp.us.debian.org'.

I also cannot connect the the web admin UI either.

Running a PING check to any other address in my network does not work either.

I have checked under the settings for the Virtual Server within vSphere Client and there are 2 NIC's, both mapped to my internal lan, but I have disabled both (whilst leaving the other on then visa versa) but this has made no difference.

Feel like I have hit a brick wall with OpenVPN before I have even started. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Unfortunately, you have hit another wall. This forum supports the openvpn community edition. It is the software that AS uses under the hood, but the interface is entirely different. Please open a support ticket via openvpn.net for AS support.
