connecting 192.168.1.x to 192.168.1.x

I'm a newbie to OpenVPN. Got excited when it installed so easy on the CentOS Linux box! Nice web front end and everything, with links to setup windows xp client. Got connected, but the fun stopped there!

Seems to me there ought to be a write up for "I have the same private networks, and can't change them, but need to reach servers on the OpenVPN server side.", that tells us exactly what to do. Or better yet, the install should handle this 'out-of-the-box', since it seems so common! OK, sorry, i'm frustrated now after three days of reading forums and trying to get this going.

OpenVPN is running on a server with 2 nics: one facing internet and the other on the 192.168.1.x network, (it's address is 192.168.1.228). I'm using the out-of-the-box config, except for only allowing UDP instead of both UDP/TCP. The following line is added to the route listing when the server is started:
5.5.0.0 * 255.255.240.0 U 0 0 0 as0t0

Am I tunneling? Is as0t0 a new name for tun0?

I can connect from my home xp (192.168.1.109), through the netgear router. But since i'm fairly new to server-side VPN, I need a step by step on how to get the xp client to be able to RDP to 192.168.1.192 on the OpenVPN server-side. Client side is sing ready made config downloaded from client web page. Just point me to the docs i'm sure have been written for this seemingly common config!.

thanks
