Hello,

The first thing I would suggest is to go through this document: http://openvpn.net/index.php/open-sourc ... howto.html and configure your test environment as per its description.

Afterwards, if you still are having issues, please feel free to ask questions--the more specific the better. There is also a sticky post at the top of the forum index that specifies what information to provide to get the best results.

Good luck, and welcome to OpenVPN

Regards,
Stephen

It sounds like you don't have a return route for your VPN client subnet. On the system that is the default gateway for your 2003 system, you need to add a static route to the effect of: to access 10.10.3.0/24 send packets to the internal address of the openvpn server.

If the openvpn server is your server-side default gateway, make sure your firewall is not interfering with your ability to pass traffic between the vpn client net and your internal network.
