The tap version under Windows requires someones independant patch (see Google) 
in order to work.  I decided not to use the tap patch for Windows because it 
hasn't made it into a stable release yet.  I instead used OpenVPN and 
bridging on my host and guest so that my guest appears to be on my LAN.  Set 
up your host as your OpenVPN server, your guest as your OpenVPN client, and 
set up bridging as described in the howto and everything will work smoothly. 
(see openvpn.net).
