Sry for not mentioning before but the RC15 was the version of the software I tested.
A bit of information about the OpenVPN connection:
- Connects directly to a Ubuntu Linux Server to access Web/Samba (network share) services
- Works using OpenVPN under an Ubuntu client
Have just tested (still does not work):
- Disabling Windows Firewall (only Firewall software running on the machine)
- Running the OpenVPN GUI under Vista Compatibility Mode
The Network Adaptor under the network and sharing center has the following IP Configuration even though the OpenVPN display a given IP of 10.8.0.6 (configured by the other end).
Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection 2:
Connection-specific DNS Suffix . :

After checking through the logs there was an 'Access Denied' line there which make me thing of trying it in Administrative Mode, problem is now resolved.
To get OpenVPN working under Windows 7 you must set it to Vista Compatibility and Administrative Mode for both the installation and running of the OpenVPN GUI.
