OpenVPN works but dosn't !!


i installed openvpn on slackware 11.0 to connect to ipcop/openvpn firewall. the firewall is working fine since i used it with OpenVPN GUI for windows for a long time. i downloaded the config file and the pem file to my slack and did the following:
Code:
root@slack:/etc# openvpn --config /root/downloads/Home-TO-IPCop/Home-TO-IPCop.ovpn
it worked fine in the beginning, created tun0 interface routing fine to my local network. i had to restart my laptop to charge it and now i'm trying to connect again but it's coming back with this output:

Code:
root@slack:/etc# openvpn --config /root/downloads/Home-TO-IPCop/Home-TO-IPCop.ovpn
Thu Jan 18 01:04:26 2007 OpenVPN 2.0.9 i686-pc-linux [SSL] [LZO] built on Dec 20 2006
Thu Jan 18 01:04:26 2007 IMPORTANT: OpenVPN's default port number is now 1194, based on an official port number assignment by IANA.  OpenVPN 2.0-beta16 and earlier used 5000 as the default port.

i thought that the cert file is corrupt so i downloaded it again from the firewall and tried it again but it's not working. if i recompiled openvpn it'll work for couple of time then it quites. any ideas?
