There are plenty of decent HOWTOs this one here is from SUSE but also has notes for Debian, not the the bridge script, and also note that the interfaces file has only the physical interfaces noted in this case eth0
http://en.opensuse.org/Yet_another_O...de_setup_howto
THis is some info on bridged VPN setup
http://www.openvpn.net/index.php/ope...-bridging.html
I used this HOWTO myself
http://vickeryj.freeshell.org/notes/open_vpn_howto.htm
Note I did not edit the openVPN init.d script but I did copy a bridge script edit it, and then added it to init.d and had it start automatically at boot so I didn't have to manually run a bridge start script every time.
There are also countless other HOWTO's that are good, but for a final note let me post some of my configs, they are both bridged, in one case the LAN DHCP server hands out address in the other the openVPN server hands out IP addresses. I think your issue at this juncture may be that your end computer is not getting an IP adddress either from DHCP or openVPN. Or perhaps your config is just wrong. BOth if these server configs work, and so does the client config.

Code:
# Which local IP address should OpenVPN
# listen on? (optional)

# Which TCP/UDP port should OpenVPN listen on?
# If you want to run multiple OpenVPN instances
# on the same machine, use a different port
# number for each one. You will need to
# open up this port on your firewall.

# If you want to control access policies
# over the VPN, you must create firewall

# On non-Windows systems, you can give
