When OpenVPN server starts, clients can't ping server's addr

I installed OpenVPN on a Win2008 server. The server's NIC has a private IP address of 10.10.10.123. When I start the OpenVPN server, that IP address becomes unreachable by other clients on the network (10.10.10.x). Consequently, OpenVPN clients on that network can't connect to the server to establish a tunnel.

I know this is a strange way to set up vpn, but I'm just doing it for "proof of concept" before implementing it at our network border on a machine with two NICs (one public and one private).

I'm using routing, not bridging.

Never mind, it was a firewall issue on the Win2008 box.
