I followed the instructions here (http://todayguesswhat.blogspot.ca/2011/03/quick-simple-vpn-setup-guide-using.html) to set up a TCP connection to OpenVPN on my Tomato router. Used TCP because the place I usually surf at seems to have the other ports blocked.
My Vista laptop is able to connect to the router but I don't appear to be getting an IP address. I'm able to access my router's admin page, but I can't see the network at home. When I browse to Whatsmyip I see my home IP.
Here are the results of route print -4 when I'm just connect to the library and when I've fired up the VP connection as well:

Thanks for any advice. I looked at one of the answers but I'm not sure if it applied to me as it said that 10...* was the vpn connection, but I appear to have 10...* when I connect just to the library.
just looked and there isn't that option under the advanced tab – Ian – 2012-10-20T08:17:43.650
In that case you will have to add it manually in you're server.cong with: push "route local_subnet mask"
You can do this in the "Custom Configuration" or just ssh into the router and do it in the shell – Mikec – 2012-10-22T11:19:57.797
thanks. Still new to some of the terminology. How do I determine what my local subnet is in Tomato? Thanks. – Ian – 2012-10-24T00:41:33.703
If the router's ip is 192.168.1.1 I would say its 192.168.1.0 netmask beign 255.255.255.0 But you should have a menu that shows tomato's routing table. – Mikec – 2012-10-25T14:13:47.387
