Hi,

I have a windows 2003 server, running as an openvpn _client_  with the
following setup:

Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection 7:

   Connection-specific DNS Suffix  . :
   IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : 208.xx.xx.224
   Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.128
   IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : 208.xx.xx.223
   Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.128
   Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 208.xx.xx.129

I want to let the vpn server to talk to this client over the tunnel, so
I am trying to get the client to connect to the server via the .224
address (so I can set a tunneled route for the .223 one). I however can
not get it to work.

I specified 'local 208.xx.xx.224' and the connection logs properly say:
Fri Oct 10 05:34:23 2008 us=324594 UDPv4 link local: 208.xx.xx.224
Fri Oct 10 05:34:23 2008 us=324613 UDPv4 link remote: ss.ss.ss.ss:1194

Yet the server receives packets from .223. Wireshark also shows packets
being directly sent with a .223 source address. Same happens if I try to
use the windows utility:

pingpath -i 208.xx.xx.224 <remote host>. Both wireshark and the remote
hos see icmp packets labeled from .223

Is this a known issue with windows, and are there any know workarounds?
Or the second IP is useless to me on this platform?

Thank you
