Hi guys,
For the past 24 hours or so (minus a sleep) I've been trying in vain to set up an OpenVPN connection to route all traffic, including internet via from work. So far, I've got as far as getting both clients connected, both get different IPs, both can ping (and get a response) the server. However that's where the good stops.

I can't
...Ping Server -> Client
...Ping Client to Client (I've set the directive in the config file)
...Seem to even work out where to begin to route clients' traffic via the internet. I read about push "redirect-gateway local def1" - but that doesn't seem to change anything.

I'd really appreciate some help on this one.

Thanks in advance,
Bryn

Hi Michael,
OS's are Windows 2008r2 on the server side, and a mix of windows 7 and windows 8 clients.
Firewalls are disabled on both ends (for the time being - I'm going to set them up once I have it working without)
