[SOLVED] Windows 8 Issues

[knitterb 1]

I was having a lot of issues connecting after upgrading to Windows 8. After a lot of different things, and trying a number of different options at the OpenVPN level, this blog post pointed to the need to install the CMAK.

From the blog post:

Windows 8 (Does NOT have ‘RAS Connection Manager’ turned on by default Sooooo:-

Control Panel\Programs\Programs and Features

‘Turn Windows features on or off’

Turn On ‘RAS Connection Manager Administration Kit (CMAK)’

OK

Close ‘Control Panel\Programs\Programs and Features window’

I had to reboot afterwards, YMMV. Hope this helps others!!
