    1515 * OpenVPN 2.3_alpha1 and earlier ''devcon.exe'' was called ''tapinstall.exe''.

     20On XP Go to ''Start -> Control Panel -> Network Connections''.
     21
     22You should see a "TAP-Windows Adapter" with a name like "Local Area Connection 3". Right click and rename this to something shorter and without embedded spaces such as "my-tap".
     23
     24Now right click again and select properties.
     25
     26Select Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) from the list and click on "Properties".
     27
     28Set the IP address and subnet mask of your new TAP device. For the example below we will use an IP of 10.3.0.1 and a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0. Other fields can be left as they are.
     29
     30Note also that the command line tool "netsh" can do many of these same functions.
     31
     32For example, the following command will set the IP and subnet for my-tap:
     33
     34{{{
     35$ netsh interface ip set address my-tap static 10.3.0.1 255.255.255.0
     36}}}
     37
     38This setting is persistent across reboots.
