BUT the problem is on windows ipconfig

Connection-specific DNS Suffix . :
Autoconfiguration IP Address. . . : 169.254.127.119
Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.0.0
Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . :

this means windows tap device cannot get an ip address from dhcp ?

is there any wrong ?

I have the same problem over here

 

[gumush]

I couldn't find any solution .

 

[MaRiOs]

i finally removed it.
Its useless, u can only do one connection.
I wish to give VPN connections to all my clients throuh a range of ip's.

I'm researching on http://www.poptop.org/ right now and i think I may install it.

 

[gumush]

can you connect server over VPN ?

 

[MaRiOs]

Yes i Did it worked fine, but with only one client.

And thats now what we want in our company.

openvpn peer mode

Plesk implements openvpn in peer mode only. It is openvpn 2.0 so you can manually edit the server's openvpn.conf and set it up for server mode where the number of connections is only limited by physical constraints such as the server's hardware and bandwidth.

I'm yet to configure this myself. But the documentation HOWTO on openvpn's site shows how to set up server mode. I might post my .conf when i've done and tested.
