| + | # TAP-Win32 Adapter Is Not Coming Up: "Initialization Sequence Completed with Errors" |
| + | |
| + | In **Control Panel / Administrative Tools / Services**, make sure that the **DHCP Client Service** is started. |
| + | |
| + | If the above fix doesn't work, then it's possible that the TAP-Win32 adapter is being firewalled. In general, it's safe to disable the firewall on the TAP-Win32 adapter because OpenVPN ensures that only an authenticated machine on the other end of the connection can communicate through it. However, there have been reports that certain third-party firewalls will block the TAP-Win32 adapter after an XP SP2 upgrade. |
| + | |
| + | You can also try changing the `ip-win32` setting to a non-DHCP method. For example: |
| + | - `ip-win32 netsh` |
| + | - `ip-win32 ipapi` |
| + | - `ip-win32 manual` |
