I'm having trouble connecting properly on a fresh install of Server 2012 Essentials.

I can login and connect OK, but my IP address doesn't change and the bandwidth meter doesn't show any traffic going through the VPN when I load webpages etc.

I've tried with 32bit and 64bit Windows 8 versions. I've tried with COMODO on and off. The client works fine on a Windows 7 PC on the same network.

Here is my log:

Hello!

From the logs it appears that on your Windows 8 the TAP-Win32 interface does not come up.. not even with the Air client 'hack'.

First, you can try a Winsock and stack reset (from a command prompt with administrator privileges):
Reset WINSOCK entries to installation defaults:

netsh winsock reset catalog

Reset IPv4 TCP/IP stack to installation defaults:

netsh int ipv4 reset reset.log

After the above commands are issued a reboot is unfortunately mandatory.

If the above does not solve the problem, can you please make sure that:
- no programs (especially antivirus and firewall) are interfering with airvpn.exe, openvpn.exe and tap09*.sys (the driver for the tun/tap interface)
- the Air client can elevate to administrator privileges
- OpenVPN can elevate to administrator privileges
- the DHCP *client* service is running
- TAP driver is installed correctly (in case of doubt, try to uninstall OpenVPN completely and re-install it, making sure to authorize the installation of any driver)

Kind regards

[chiquito50]

Those first two commands seem to have done the trick!

[edturner]

the first 2 commands did not solve my issue in my case.

But instead this did:

 Allow DHCP "negotiation":
Allow IP In/Out From MAC Any To IP 255.255.255.255 Where Protocol Is Any

this setting in my Firewall was missing. And it was preventing the TAP to change info.

Hope it might helps someone.
