OK, well, I (reluctantly) booted up vista on my computer which didn't have OV installed so that I could do it from scratch, and followed the instructions to the letter... and basically it worked (once I remembered that my linux box at home was using it, and killed that connection!) So, I conclude that it's something wrong with my colleague's vista install! And, with relief, I can shutdown my vista install again, shudder quietly, and boot linux! :-D Oh, one thing.. each openvpn user has a dedicated OV daemon (different port) on the vpn server, so that I can have very tight control over what they're doing. > ##c:/program files/openvpn/config/vpn.domain.com.ovpn > float > client I don't have either of the above two lines in the config(s), either on the linux box or vista box, didn't stop it working though. > dev tun > dev-node openvpn > proto tcp-client > remote xx.xx.xx.xx 1194 each user has an ifconfig line thus: ifconfig 10.xx.yy.2 10.xx.yy.1 > route-method exe I've also got: route-delay 2 as recommended elsewhere > persist-tun > persist-key yup > ca ca.crt > cert client1.crt > key client1.key > ns-cert-type server > tls-client am using shared key, each user has their own key, each openvpn daemon is thus specific to each user > comp-lzo yup, need same setting at both ends > ping 10 I'm using this: keepalive 10 60 instead of ping. > pull not using pull > verb 4 have verb 3 which is sufficiently detailed > > http://www.openvpn.se/files/install_packages/openvpn-2.0.9-gui-1.0.3-install.exe I'll double-check my colleague's install. thanks again
