Connection problem

Hi all,

I copied the setup guide from the top of this section about setting up a Road warrior laptop. for some reason it wont connect. OpenVPN shows the following:

Wed Aug 04 14:42:08 2010 OpenVPN 2.1.1 i686-pc-mingw32 [SSL] [LZO2] [PKCS11] built on Dec 11 2009

Wed Aug 04 14:42:09 2010 VERIFY OK: depth=0, /C=UK/ST=NA/O=XXXXX/CN=server/emailAddress=user@domain.com

It gets that far then stays on status as connecting.  ???

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

no matter about this, i found an entry in the logs for openVPN saying 'VERIFY ERROR: depth=1, error=certificate is not yet valid:' and it turned out to be an invalid time setting.

Thanks
