NP. I don't think it's in the sticky.

I've successfully set up OpenVPN and can ping between both OpenVPN peers, however I cannot reach any of the other machines on the subnet. What's the problem?

Make sure that the firewall is not filtering the TUN/TAP interface.

Make sure you have IP forwarding enabled on the server.
* If you are using routing (not ethernet bridging), make sure the clients (or LAN gateway) have a route back to the server for the packets coming in over the tunnel. This can be done by:
o adding a route in your default gateway for the VPN network IP subnet pointing to the OpenVPN machine,
o adding a route to every client, or
o NATing all VPN traffic to the local address of the OpenVPN machine for network traffic which leaves the OpenVPN machine for the local net.

If you are still stumped, use tcpdump, ethereal, or WinDump to determine where packets are being dropped.
