[Openvpn-users] Ideas? Cannot get OpenVPN to work

I am trying to setup OpenVPN from a home PC connected directly to a cable modem (computer has a public IP address) to a Linux/Windows network at work. OpenVPN and the firewall at work are sitting on a linux server. I've setup bridging on eth1 (intranet facing card), and changed iptables accordingly. No matter what I do though, I keep getting a "NOTE: failed to obtain options consistency info from peer" from my home Windows PC when I run the ovpn config file.

Home config:
port 5000
secret homeuser.key
comp-lzo
dev tap
fragment 1400
ifconfig-nowarn
mssfix 1400
ping 10
remote AA.BB.CC.DD #masked out for privacy
route-delay 10
tap-sleep 1
tun-mtu 1500
tun-mtu-extra 32
verb 4
(note:  I've tried with and w/o ifconfig statement, no luck)

work config:
port 5000
dev tap0
secret homeuser.key
log-append /var/log/openvpn/homeuser.log
comp-lzo
fragment 1400
group openvpn
local AA.BB.CC.DD #masked out for privacy
mssfix 1400
persist-tun
persist-key
persist-local-ip
ping 10
ping-restart 35
ping-timer-rem
tun-mtu 1500
tun-mtu-extra 32
user openvpn
verb 4

Do I need to do anything special to get these machines to talk, particularly since my machine only has a public IP address? I'm a bit at a loss ...

Thank you kindly in advance,
Josh Lindenmuth
