[Openvpn-users] connecting to other networks with openvpn installed

I need a little help here.

First, I am using my laptop to connect to wireless networks up on
campus, which require DHCP to be enabled. I want to use OpenVPN here at
home to secure a desktop-laptop adhoc link, but I am not sure how to
proceed. Is DHCP even supported by OpenVPN? The network at school
requires the use of 802.1x authentication, it uses the Meetinghouse
AEGIS client to be specific. Are there any conflicts that could arise
between OpenVPN and this software, or just in general between networks
at school and home? I would like to know what to do before I proceed.

Second concerns firewalling off the adapter. I am not sure exactly how
to do this. I know I need to cut off all but UDP 5000. The Windows
TCP/IP filtering feature affects all adapters. I have ZoneAlarm on my PC
but I haven't been able to get that to work (I tried setting this up
before school started, but had to take it off to get networks up on
campus to work).

Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.
