Wow, this a big anwser!
A big thanks would at least be in order here.
THANKS.
 
I will get back to you if this works out for me.
It looks good(and complicated).
This will keep me bussy for a while.

Hi,

first of all, on Win machine, set logging on. Your vpn.ovpn:

remote XX.XX.XX.XX
tls-client
tls-remote your.server.com
pull
# if you do not use server config and pull, then set next
#ifconfig 10.8.0.X 255.255.255.0
port 5001
proto udp
dev tap0
comp-lzo
verb 5
mute 10
ca "c:\\program files\\openvpn\\keys\\cacert.pem"
cert "c:\\program files\\openvpn\\keys\\client.crt"
key "c:\\program files\\openvpn\\keys\\private\\client.key"
log-append "c:\\program files\\openvpn\\log\\openvpn.log"
status "c:\\program files\\openvpn\\log\\vpn.status" 10

On your server vpn.conf:

mode server
tls-server
...
...
client-config-dir /etc/openvpn/clients
port 5001
proto udp
dev tap0
push "route 192.168.8.0 255.255.255.0 10.8.0.1"
log-append /var/log/openvpn
status /var/run/openvpn/vpn.status 10
persist-key
persist-tun
push "persist-key"
push "persist-tun"

and file clients/your.client.com:

ifconfig-push 10.8.0.X 255.255.255.0
push "route-gateway 10.8.0.1"

On WinXP you must rename your network device to tap0 (or something
else). Your logged user must have permissions to set tap0 device (member
of Network Configuration Operators or Administrators). If you mind it,
set permanent route:
route add -p 192.168.8.0 MASK 255.255.255.0 10.8.0.X IF XX.

Of cause you must set sime parameters to tap0 device:
IP addrfrom DHCP server
- DNS XX.XX.XX.XX
- gateway 10.8.0.X
- WINS: XX.XX.XX.XX
Allow NetBios over TCP/IP

If you have problem see openvpn.log on Win machine.

Version 2.1_RC1 is quite stable.
