I am running a properly-configured OpenVPN client on Windows Vista (the same config has worked on other computers). I'm using OpenVPN GUI 1.0.3.
I seem to be properly connected according to OpenVPN UI:

ipconfig shows that I am connected to my work network:
Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection 2: Connection-specific DNS Suffix . : hq.myworkplace.net Link-local IPv6 Address . . . . . : fe80::25aa:1764:3f5d:9c70%19 IPv4 Address. . . . . . . . . . . : 10.0.2.10 Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.252 Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . :
If I launch Remote Desktop Connection and try to connect to a machine, it fails. I tried to connect by using machineName and my using hq.myworkplace.net\machineName. Pinging that machine also fails (ping machineName, and ping hq.myworkplace.net\machineName error with "Ping request could not find host machineName")
I have a feeling that my wireless router is also causing some problems.
Any suggestion as what I could do next to troubleshoot this?
Thanks!
