[russdcm 0]

Hi,

I can log on ok but i am failing to connect, checking the logs you can see it is having a problem with:

CreateFile failed on TAP device: \\.\Global\{00BB1290-674A-4E20-A391-5A3336BDDE8C}.tap

All TAP-Win32 adapters on this system are currently in use.

Im not sure what has changed today or how to fix it if it is a problem at my end.

Hello!

OpenVPN can't access the TAP-Win32 adapter. Please make sure that it is enabled:

On Windows XP: Open Control Panel-->Network and Internet connections-->Network Connections. Right-click on "TAP-Win32 Adapter V9" and select "Enable".

Windows Vista: Open Control Panel-->Network and Internet-->Network and Sharing Center-->Manage network connections. Right-click "TAP-Win32 Adapter V9" and select Enable.

Windows 7: Open Control Panel-->Network and Internet-->Network and Sharing Center-->Change Adapter Settings. Right-click on "TAP-Win32 Adapter V9" and select Enable.

If you find that the TAP adapter is already enabled, select "Disable", apply the change, then select "Enable".

Please feel free to let us know whether the above solves the problem.

Kind regards

Hello!

Thank you for the information, we're very glad to know that the problem is solved.

It's not your fault, we have dozens of support requests because the TUN/TAP adapter is disabled. It's impossible that all of these requests come from persons who inadvertently switched off the adapter. There must be some condition for which Windows switches it off, however we have been unable so far to determine such condition.

Kind regards
