	That depends on the configuration, the openvpn server can be
configured to push a default route in which case (if the client doesn't
decline the push) then all traffic will go across the VPN, but it doesn't
have to be configured that way.

	To find out you can either read the client and server config files
carefully or (do this) point your laptop browser at somewhere like myip.com
and find out what IP address you're using - if it isn't the one you want to
be using then you will have to look at those config files and fix them (feel
free to post them for help).

	That doesn't sound like a VPN problem - not sure what it is though.
