While experimenting with OpenVPN I met something similar if one
use "server 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0" syntax. The the box acts
(seems) like DHCP server and assigns client's other ip addresses
(not ip addresses from client's configs). But if you use line
"ifconfig 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0" at the server's config then
all clients got assigned ip addresses according to their configs.
