I've read about this condition in the following URL...

I think I may be experiencing this on my Windows XP Pro workstation
running OpenVPN. Can anyone confirm for me what the symptom would be?
Would just the virtual network interface lock up, or would it cause the
entire operating system to lock up? I've been experiencing the latter
the last few weeks since I started running the OpenVPN client.

In case you're curious, I would prefer to run my VPN over UDP but
because of corporate FW rules I can't. In fact my only choice was to run
over TCP port 443, hence the choice of OpenVPN. XP's built in VPN
doesn't allow you to modify the port it uses and OpenVPN does.
