OpenVPN connection looks ok but cannot access anything from internal network @ office
 
hey guys. Was wondering if anyone could help. We have an OpenVPN server at my place of employment. Works just fine on windows but I wanted to try and get it running on linux. Have an install of FC8 at home. I am running from the command line with openvpn --config XXX.ovpn after I run that as root it seems to connect. Yet I still cannot access anything from internal network. No fileshare, no intranet, nothing. Could it be a firewall issues on my machine? Or does anyone have any idea why I wouldn't be able to access my jobs internal network?

here's what konsole says at end of connection

Enable ip forwarding on vpn server?
Code:

sysctl -w net.ipv4.ip_forward=1
Edit: Also, make sure the other computers on the LAN have a route to the vpn network.
