But today I can't seem to get my eth0 to et to work anymore... it doesn't do anything in wireshark neither... i can put it up and assign it an ip, but that's it... can't ping. I haven't done anything else with the vpn packages...

any ideas please,has it something to do with the openvpn service?
Since it is saying that the link is down, I'd say no, this doesn't have anything to do with openvpn. I'd check the switch/hub it's hooked into and see if you have a link light. Could be the switch/hub, cable, or local ethernet port has a physical problem.
