Windows Cliedt, Get right IP Address, But not ping.

[ruizramosjose]

Hello.

I would like to use hans client on Windows. I've already test in server with openSuse and client with openSuse too, and it works fine, ping works between client and server.

Now I'm running windows client. I've installed TAP Driver and it's selected by hans. In fact when I run hans -c SERVER_IP -p xxx the TAP Adapter gets a valid IP addres like 10.0.10.101. But when try to ping to 10.0.10.1(Server addres) it doesn't work.

When I see log on my server it says: hans connection established: Cliente_IP.

But I noticed tha the TAP Adapter always says unppluged cable.

I'm using Windows 7 32Bits, runing hans as administrator.

Any ideas to make it works?

Thanks.

you need to rund cmd with administrative right and hans with foreground option (-f)
hans -f -v -c xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx -p pass

I suppose you have NDIS6 version of TAP driver (9.2x) installed? It seems that hans shares the same problem of iodine for Windows, which has compatibility issues with NDIS6 drivers.

If so, uninstall the current TAP driver, go to OpenVPN to download the NDIS5 TAP driver (9.9.3 as of now), and you should be able to reach the server without any problems.

check your hans version on server. it need to match the windows client version

@frudas24 @friedrich Are there any plans to make it work correctly in background mode on Windows?
