I was able to connect in routed mode. It's the bridged mode that makes this impossible, right? > (1) Try to use a different isolated virtual subnet, ie. 172.16.0.0/24 > for the tap0 connection of your OpenVPN server and don't use a > bridge to your local network. > In this case you should be able to connect your WinXP machine using > OpenVPN with tap interface. I went to the server config, and changed this line: server-bridge 10.0.0.3 255.255.255.0 10.0.0.61 10.0.0.90 to this: server-bridge 10.0.0.3 255.255.255.0 172.16.0.1 10.0.0.100 And when I tried to start the OpenVPN deamon, I got this error in the log: Options error: --server-bridge IP addresses 10.0.0.3 and 172.16.0.1 are not in the same 255.255.255.0 subnet I tried this with the bridge up and also down, on the Linux server. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The best possible search technologies are now affordable for all companies.
