iphone openvpn connection, routing problem

[tester1001]

I have a Linux pc in my home lan of 192.168.5.* running openvpn server
using 3g and/or a neighbors wifi I am able to connect to my vpn. I can ping the vpn server at 10.8.0.1, and I can ping the openvpn server's lan address 192.168.5.49
I am unable to ping any other client on the lan.
I have added a route to my home router at 192.168.5.1 to send all 10.8.0.0 traffic to the lan ip of 192.168.5.49(the address of the pc hosting openvpn).
I have (push "route 192.168.5.0 255.255.255.0") in the openvpn server.conf
I still am unable to ping any lan client(except the vpn server) across the vpn from the iphone.
I can ping the phone, across the vpn from a lan client (windows pc).

I am not sure where my problem is, but seems like a routing issue somewhere.

Any advise would be appreciated, Thanks

did you enabled ip forwarding on your linux server?
