Guys, It seems I have had the problem of several other people concerning connection issues. After Installing the AirVPN client which in turn installs the open VPN driver. After the first server connection with seems to corrupt my secondary adapter which is a broadcom ethernet adapter. I have found a workaround by going to device manager and deleting both the Broadcom driver and the TAP_V9 driver. Then I performed a scan for hardware change and Windows will reinstall my ethernet driver. Everything will function normally until the next time I connect via AirVPN. Additional notes: on my custom gig I have the option to connect either through a ethernet cable or Wi-Fi. I find that even when unable to connect via the ethernet, I am still able to connect via Wi-Fi. This leads me to believe that there is a conflict between the Broadcom driver and the TAP-V9 (OpenVPN driver). Y'all have a nice day, Greg
