I'm using OpenVPN GUI 1.0.3 and TAP-Win32 9.0.0.3 on Windows Vista quite successfully on my laptop. Whenever I disconnect the OpenVPN connection, however, the physical Ethernet interface ends up no longer being able to acquire an IP address via DHCP. Instead it sticks with a net 169.254.x.x address. Restarting the DHCP Client service does not help, nor does removing and re-inserting the Ethernet cable. Only after rebooting can I use the Ethernet interface normally. The System log in Event Viewer shows the following message when this situation occurs: "Your computer was not assigned an address from the network (by the DHCP Server) for the Network Card with network address 001558848B12E. The following error occurred: The object already exists.. Your computer will continue to try and obtain an address on its own from the network address (DHCP) server." tcpdump shows that the server is sending a response to the DHCP request, but Vista is ignoring it for some reason. Any suggestions for how to debug this would be appreciated--it's pretty annoying to have to reboot whenever I switch from the VPN to my office LAN. ______________________ OpenVPN mailing lists https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/openvpn-users |
