[Openvpn-users] error: CreateFile failed on TAP device

[Daniel <dh...@co...>]

Hi all.

I am using OpenVPN between two Windows machines (W2K and XP).

I have been able to successfully establish the vpn connections between the
two machines. My problem comes in when I want to have one machine connect to
two different OpenVPN machines.

For example, let's say I have computers A, B, and C. I connect A and B just
fine. However, I cannot get A to connect to C at the same time A is
connected to B. Here is the error message I get when I try to make the
second connection:

Mon Sep 08 14:51:47 2003 8: CreateFile failed on TAP device:
\\.\{2B996B0C-21AD-
4A09-B27F-96970185E3B2}.tap: I/O failure possibly related to sleep/resume
activi
ty (ERROR_GEN_FAILURE) (errno=31)

I have two *.ovpn files in the config directory, and the second connection
always seems to have this error.


Thanks in advance.
