Hello,
It sounds like you're dealing with a firewall between you and your openvpn server that is expiring your your UDP session. I've seen this with openvpn servers running on hosts that have a default deny on the system firewall--the firewall rule set are appropriately configured to service the hard line, but the virtual network deivce (tun/tap) is forgotten about. I would start out with a firewall rule set that gives a default allow profile for your virtual device--tightening up inbound access via the virtual device once you're comfortable with the tunnel configuration.
Without more information, what it sounds like is that your server is not responding to the ICMP echo packet which causes your client to bounce.

Stephen
