The issue here is that since TAP looks like an ethernet device, it doesn't have the same IP configuration characteristics as TUN devices do. In the TAP case, you can also do DHCP over the TAP interface and get an IP that way too, or you can use static IP, or you can have the server push the IP down I think. There was also a lot of stuff about bridging in some of the HOWTOs that I read about TAP-mode. Do you have to set up bridging to use openvpn TAP mode on the client? It wasn't clear to me if that was required or not.I do not think so. I use tap and I have not setup a bridge.Ok, good :) Do you use DHCP on the tap interface?
No, my ip is assigned to my certificate DN by the openvpn server. -- ============================================================================ Dimitris Zilaskos Department of Physics @ Aristotle University of Thessaloniki , Greece PGP key : http://tassadar.physics.auth.gr/~dzila/pgp_public_key.asc http://egnatia.ee.auth.gr/~dzila/pgp_public_key.asc MD5sum : de2bd8f73d545f0e4caf3096894ad83f pgp_public_key.asc ============================================================================
