      I notice that I am running TAP-Win32 Adapter V8 on the laptop and V9 on the desktop. Is there a way for me to upgrade to V9?

      I think that might be the problem

        Just re-run the client installer, it should update everything. Or to be sure, uninstall it first then reinstall. It should leave the config alone.

                Check "route print" from a command prompt, see if you're actually getting routes. Try to do a traceroute and see where it goes.

                        I flushed dns and cleared the routing table, restarted and same results. Tracert showed the connection trying to go to 192.168.64.64... I have no idea what that ip is. It isnt on any of my networks on this one

                          SOLVED!!

                          Awesome. I really excited about this. In order to resolve this issue, I first, completely uninstalled OpenVPN from my laptop. (again) I then created a new user on the firewall. I made a cert for this user as well. Then, and this is the big difference… I exported the windows installer instead of the files themselves. I emailed that to myself and downloaded it to my laptop. I installed it, and noticed that it installed TAP 0901...

                          I tried to log in and it worked. I then tried to access my other computers, and it worked flawlessly. I hope this helps someone else out in the future!
