Problem using OpenVPN to connect a Windows client to Ubuntu server


I am using OpenVPN to connect a Windows 7 client to Ubuntu. The Windows client is in my office and the Ubuntu server is at my house. I'm able to connect to my home linux box and can confirm this by checking the IP address on my Windows machine (myipaddress.com shows that the IP address is the same as my home IP address).

My problem is that I can't "see" the directories on my Ubuntu box after I connect. I checked the OpenVPN client log and here's what it says:

Code:
Mon Feb 29 12:13:12 2016 TAP-WIN32 device [Local Area Connection 2] opened: \\.\Global\{5C422686-14B1-4146-89A1-F3C830928693}.tap
Mon Feb 29 12:13:12 2016 Notified TAP-Windows driver to set a DHCP IP/netmask of 10.8.0.6/255.255.255.252 on interface {5C422686-14B1-4146-89A1-F3C830928693} [DHCP-serv: 10.8.0.5, lease-time: 31536000]
Mon Feb 29 12:13:12 2016 Successful ARP Flush on interface [22] {5C422686-14B1-4146-89A1-F3C830928693}
Mon Feb 29 12:13:17 2016 Warning: address 192.168.1.117 is not a network address in relation to netmask 255.255.255.0
Mon Feb 29 12:13:17 2016 ROUTE: route addition failed using CreateIpForwardEntry: The parameter is incorrect.   [status=87 if_index=22]
Mon Feb 29 12:13:17 2016 env_block: add PATH=C:\Windows\System32;C:\Windows;C:\Windows\System32\Wbem
Mon Feb 29 12:13:17 2016 ROUTE: route addition failed using CreateIpForwardEntry: The object already exists.   [status=5010 if_index=22]
Mon Feb 29 12:13:17 2016 env_block: add PATH=C:\Windows\System32;C:\Windows;C:\Windows\System32\Wbem
Mon Feb 29 12:13:17 2016 Initialization Sequence Completed
Thanks in advance for your help.

Problem solved. Opened VPN client as 'Administrator'and that seemed to do the trick.
