[Openvpn-users] Status = 55 Error. Help!

[Crypto C. <cry...@gm...>]

Hello,

I am totally frustrated over this problem. I have read a dozen posts about
it with no luck. For starters:

1) I have my Tap adapter enabled. I tried disabling and re-enabling. No
luck.

2) My tap Adapter *does* show up on Network Connections, however, ipconfig
*does not* show any tap adapters at all. OpenVpn --show-net *does not* show
any Tap devices either.

2.1) Device manager shows it as "TAP-Win32 Adapter V8", it is *not* hidden
and says it is working correctly. Characteristics is 0x81 in registry.

2.2) I have two additional Tap Adapters that got installed with openVpn:
"TAP-Win32 Adapter V8 - CommStudio Virtual Adapter By TamoSoft" and
"TAP-Win32 Adapter V8 - Minipuerto del administrador de paquetes". These
last two however, show up as hidden.

3) Of course I did try uninstalling and reinstalling at least 5 times the
whole OpenVPN package, including the tap adapter, making sure every trace o=
f
it gets completely deleted from the registry before reinstalling.

3.1) I am using version 2.0.2 downloaded 2 weeks ago from
http://openvpn.net/download.html

4) Firewall is of course OFF. No other personal firewalls are installed.

5) I have no antivirus Software installed at all, so no other firewalls
could be messing with it.

6) I am on a Dial Up connection to the internet.

Setup: Windows XP professional SP2. Spanish

When I try to connect to my bridged VPN server, I get the following error:

I know my configuration file is correct, because I have succesfully
installed an openvpn client under another windows XP SP2 computer (with
different sets of certificates of course, it is not a client clash) with th=
e
very same config file (albeit the certs). The only difference between
computers is the OS language. The problem machine is Spanish, the client
with no problem is in english. One other difference is one machine is on a
dialup link, the other one is on cable.

Help Please!
