Open VPN - need some help install/configuring.

[Lisa Kachold]

Bryon,

Verify this subnet mask?  It looks like it's a class B address with a C mask.

 Wed Jun 18 08:42:41 2008 /sbin/route add -net 10.8.0.0 netmask
255.255.255.0 gw 10.8.0.2

That would certainly cause Error 4.

on my desktop (WinXP) and I am trying to connect them. I generated all
of my key files and certs on my server and copied the client key, cert,
and server ca.crt to my client,  I believe I have everything configured
correctly, but it does not connect.  Also on the windows side it
indicates my tun adaptor is not connected.  Perhaps one of you can tell
me where I went wrong.

And yes, I did try shut down my windows firewall and my server iptables

Here is what I see from my client (windows)
