Hi, this is my first time setting up a VPN so its been a pretty big learning curve. My setup is a 3G router with a 6 or 7 machines connected by the routers LAN port though a simple switch. I can connect to the Router using the Open VPN GUI on my windows 7 client but I cant ping the LAN side of the router from the client(192.168.1.xxx). I CAN ping the LAN devices from the routers built in ping funtion though. I'm not sure how to proceed at this point. I set up all the certificates using XCA and the tutorial supplied with the 3G modem, the certificates are the .p12 file type.
here is my client config file

# Configuration of OpenVPN-Client PC 1 to access remote network 1

# Use this certificate (must be located in the config directory)
