openvpn problem with w2000 clients

Apr 13, 2008 0 Replies

Hi all, my openvpn net worked well for long time, but yesterday, after stopping and rebooting the server with the option "client-to-client" off and on, the win2k clients ( and not the xp and linux clients) stopped to answer to my ping requests.



Please note that they look for the server, and all the connection procedure works perfect. so I see ALL of my clients connected to my server, but the win2k doesn't talk with the server.



I checked the log file in my server, and there is no differences between a linux client and a win2k client.



I reached one of those, and everything seemed regular. i checked in the command line the command "route print" and the I've seen all my rules for my vpn.....



then I tryed to reboot the service and everything are now perfect, I can reach this machine from my linux server now.



The problem is that almost all of this clients are far from me, and I cannot reach them.



Is there a way to tell the server to "reset" all of my clients? all clients are using ccd files.



This is a very worryng situation for me, because many of these clients are many kilometers far from me....


my server conf:



;local a.b.c.d ;daemon



port 1194



;proto tcp proto udp


;dev tap dev tun



;dev-node MyTap


ca keys/ca.crt cert keys/server.crt key keys/server.key # This file should be kept secret


dh keys/dh1024.pem


;server 10.8.0.0 255.255.255.0 server 172.25.50.0 255.255.254.0


ifconfig-pool-persist ipp.txt


;push "route 192.168.10.0 255.255.255.0" ;push "route 192.168.20.0 255.255.255.0"
