Is this OpenVPN 2.x
Are you using topology subnet in your server.conf file.
I've just set another server this morning and this is what I have. This is on
Centos 5.3
openvpn-2.1-0.29.rc15.el5
ifconfig -a
tun0 Link encap:UNSPEC HWaddr
00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00
inet addr:192.168.166.1 P-t-P:192.168.166.1 Mask:255.255.255.0
