Hello,

I am experimenting with the VpnService that was added to Android in
SDK 4.0. I have gotten as far as starting the VpnService, however, I
am unable to create the virtual interface. My code throws an
IllegalStateException and I am not able to figure out why.

My cut down example looks like this:

                        ParcelFileDescriptor pfd = null;

                        VpnService.Builder b = new VpnService.Builder();
                        try{
                                b.addAddress("10.0.6.2", 24);
                                b.setMtu(1460);
                                b.setSession("TunnelTest");
                        } catch(IllegalArgumentException e){
                                Log.v("Service", "Address is invalid!");
                                stopSelf();
                                return;
                        }

                        try{
                                pfd = b.establish();
                        } catch (IllegalArgumentException e){
                                Log.v("Service", "Interface was provided with 
an illegal
argument");
                        } catch (IllegalStateException e){
                                e.printStackTrace();
                                Log.v("Service", "Illegal state");
                        } catch (SecurityException e){
                                Log.v("Service", "Security exception thrown");

What I try to do here is to create a virtual interface with IP
10.0.6.2, belonging to the 10.6.0.0/24 subnet. The exception is thrown
by the b.establish() call.

This is the full stack trace:

        11-30 17:51:10.863: W/System.err(2741):

$TestVpn.run(TestVpnService.java:37)

Thanks in advance for any help.
