I'm sure it would be helpful to know whether it's a default gateway problem "or something". If you can't get the routing tables out of Windows (about which I treasure my ignorance :-) you could try using ping with and without domain names/dns resolution to find out. If it's a dns problem, and depending on what "go(ing) anywhere" on "the local subnet" means in Windows, it could be a dns problem. Then see http://support.microsoft.com/kb/311218 referenced from the FAQ http://openvpn.net/index.php/open-source/faq.html (Note that this is really a dhcp Windows problem that typically causes dns problems.) Note that the dns problem was what your message reminded me of. I've not looked closely at your openvpn log and am not familiar enough to be able to tell offhand if it indicates any sort of problem or not. You also might try the openvpn users list as this could just be (as above) some sort of MS Windows bug exposed by your particular configuration, which would be good to post so people have a better idea of what your doing.
