Possible to get access to network via a openvpn server?

Is it possible to install openvpn on a centos 5.7 workstation machine, and that will allow me to connect to it and then have access to the rest of the machines on the network?

The centos machine is not acting as a dhcp or dns server, I am using a regular router for that.

If yes, can someoen point me to a tutorial that will explain how.


THanks
