Server/Client not communicating

conform

Setup: Server Windows 2003 Client CentOS 6.4

What I'm trying to accomplish is to share the networked Printers on the Windows 2003 side with the clients side but can not get either to communicate to begin with let alone share printers.

The Windows 2003 is on a network with 192.168.1.X and the Linux side network is 192.168.1.X also.
When connected with the openVPN on port 1194, they are using 10.8.0.X. They do not seem to see each other.
Both sides have the port open for both TCP/UDP.

I have set up the server with the following:

port 1194
proto udp
dev tun
ca ca.crt
cert server.crt
key server.key
dh dh1024.pem
server 10.8.0.0 255.255.255.0
ifconfig-pool-persist ipp.txt
keepalive 10 120
comp-lzo
persist-key
persist-tun
status openvpn-status.log
verb 6

The client:

client
dev tun
proto udp
remote 24.227.88.3 1194
resolv-retry infinite
nobind
persist-key
persist-tun
ca ca.crt
cert gltclient.crt
key gltclient.key
ns-cert-type server
comp-lzo
verb 6

Log file from client:

Now, both 'see' each other as the server has an IP of 10.8.0.1, while the client receives an IP of 10.8.0.6.
Yet, when I look at the ipp.txt on the server, it has the client as 10.8.0.4.
The two can not ping each other at all. But if I monitor, when client ping the server, the server is 'seeing' the ping request just not responding to it.

Any ideas or assistance would be greatly appreciated.

I have had trouble connecting two networks with the same subnet. I would set the server (if you can) to 192.168.2.0/24 or something else than 192.168.1.0/24 (client). I would also make sure that your openvpn subnet is also different which it is (10.8.0.0/24)
