Hi All, I'm running redirect-gateway under a windows xp installation, where the installation is connecting as a client to a vpn server running on freebsd.
The machine connects to the internet via a PPPoE connection over an ADSL link. When openvpn attempts to insert the route for the vpn server (the route it inserts to avoid route looping, as defined as step 1 in the man page) I get the following: Thu Jan 20 17:32:44 2005 us=406432 route ADD 137.158.26.30 MASK 255.255.255.255 165.146.135.233 Thu Jan 20 17:32:44 2005 us=409053 ROUTE: route addition failed using CreateIpForwardEntry: The parameter is incorrect. The strange thing is that if I do a manual command like: route add 137.158.26.30 MASK 255.255.255.255 165.146.135.233 It works fine, just fails when openvpn tries to do it. I also noted that if my default gateway is set on my ethernet interface instead of the PPPoE connection when I establish the vpn the route entry works fine, it seems like openvpn just has a problem inserting routes to a PPPoE interface under xp, though I may be wrong Any thoughts / help would be appreciated on this one Andrew Alston Senior Technical Specialist - University of Cape Town
