Windows 7 support? Should I be able to PING over the VPN?
Hello, 2 questions: 1. I see from the archives that Vista support requires downloading an updated TAP driver from OpenVPN.net. I have just downloaded tinc 1.0.13 and was not able to get the TAP driver to work on my Windows 7 computer. Should I assume that 1.0.13 doesn't have the most current TAP driver and I should use the one I downloaded from OpenVPN ? There seems to be other issues with Windows 7 - the RSA keys are not stored in the same place by default as they are for Windows XP, so there may be other configuration changes to make. 2. I've installed tinc on two Windows XP systems that are on the same LAN & subnet (192.168.1.0/24), but I configured them both to use a different subnet (192.168.3.0/24). After adding routes at each end, I am able to ping the local interface on each machine, but not the remote interface. Does this mean that something is not installed or configured properly, or is this normal behavior? Thanks in advance for the help.

However, do try out the OpenVPN installer and see if that works. You need administrator rights to install the TAP driver, try right-clicking on addtap.bat and select "run as administrator". There is also a 32-bit and 64-bit version, choose the one matching your Windows isntallation.> 2.

You can start tincd.exe with the extra options "-d5 -D", this will start tincd in the foreground and will show you what it is doing. Try to ping then, and see if it shows anything related to the ping message. -- Met vriendelijke groet / with kind regards, Guus Sliepen <guus at tinc-vpn.org> -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
