HI, I found the gateway IP address sometimes disappear from windows network config after the successful establishment of the openvpn connection. I m using openvpn beta 14 with winxp as client. The connection protocol is UDP with tap. The "push" config in the server is as follow: push "ping 10" push "ping-restart 30" #push "persist-tun" push "persist-key" push "redirect-gateway" push "route-gateway 172.16.0.1" #push "route delete 192.168.9.0 255.255.255.0" push "route 192.168.9.0 255.255.255.0" push "dhcp-option DNS 192.168.9.254" push "dhcp-option WINS 192.168.9.254" push "ip-win32 dynamic" push "dhcp-option NBT 8" push "dhcp-option DOMAIN mydomain.com" Thanks Sam
