Connection Error on Windows 7 w/ existing openVPN Client

Hi there,

I've already got another piece of VPN software using the same openVPN interface protocols as the HDA Connect client I believe (HMA Pro VPN client).

This may cause the following error:

The network I am connecting from is a mobile broadband ISP and the local IP range is different to the one on the HDA server. Still there seem to be NAT / routing problems?

Somebody please throw me a dime and point me in the right direction. Thanks :)

Ok, I've removed HMA Pro VPN software, removed HDA - rebooted and re-installed HDA again.

Same results :(

PS: I'm using my systems username/password.

Wiredfutureman, do I understand your question correctly? You want to VPN simultaneous to two different machines? If so, that can’t be done (this is not my area of expertise, but I am sure of this). The best you can do is to VPN to the first machine and then from the first machine again VPN to the second. Then you have access to both.

Hi Wilhelm, no - I have two openVPN client applications on my computer: one for HMA and one for HDA. However, I removed HMA now and did a fresh install of the HDA client.

Still not connecting properly though.
