Jean-Pierre,
  Again thanks for all your advise.  
Here is what I have determined.  I can ping from the gateway to the
192.168.1.1 address on the vpn server.  So the route must be working
right?  You said:

The second issue I could think of is that you forgot to activate routing
on the vpn-server 

I am not sure what you mean by this so I am attaching the entire
config file so that you can tell me if I have done it right.  As for
the firewall, it has not changed since the last time I had it working
with 1.6 so I am pretty sure that the rules are the same.  The only
reason I cant use my last config is because the server that had 1.6 on
it is toast.  If you could take a look and see what I need to do to
"activate" routing I would appreciate it.


# Edit this file, and save to a .ovpn extension
# so that OpenVPN will activate it when run
# as a service.

# Change 'myremote' to be your remote host,
# or comment out to enter a listening
# server mode.
;remote myremote

# Uncomment this line to use a different
# port number than the default of 5000.
; port 5000

# Choose one of three protocols supported by
# OpenVPN.  If left commented out, defaults
# to udp.
; proto [tcp-server | tcp-client | udp]
proto tcp-server

# You must specify one of two possible network
# protocols, 'dev tap' or 'dev tun' to be used
# on both sides of the connection.  'tap' creates
# a VPN using the ethernet protocol while 'tun'
# uses the IP protocol.  You must use 'tap'
# if you are ethernet bridging or want to route
# broadcasts.  'tun' is somewhat more efficient
# but requires configuration of client software
# to not depend on broadcasts.  Some platforms
# such as Solaris, OpenBSD, and Mac OS X only
# support 'tun' interfaces, so if you are
# connecting to such a platform, you must also
# use a 'tun' interface on the Windows side.

# Enable 'dev tap' or 'dev tun' but not both!
dev tap

# This is a 'dev tap' ifconfig that creates
# a virtual ethernet subnet.
# 10.3.0.1 is the local VPN IP address
# and 255.255.255.0 is the VPN subnet.
# Only define this option for 'dev tap'.
;ifconfig 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0

# This is a 'dev tun' ifconfig that creates
# a point-to-point IP link.
# 10.3.0.1 is the local VPN IP address and
# 10.3.0.2 is the remote VPN IP address. 
# Only define this option for 'dev tun'.
# Make sure to include the "tun-mtu" option
# on the remote machine, but swap the order
# of the ifconfig addresses.
;tun-mtu 1500
;ifconfig 10.3.0.1 10.3.0.2

# If you have fragmentation issues or misconfigured
# routers in the path which block Path MTU discovery,
# lower the TCP MSS and internally fragment non-TCP
# protocols.
;fragment 1300
;mssfix

# If you have set up more than one TAP-Win32 adapter
# on your system, you must refer to it by name.
;dev-node my-tap
dev-node OpenVPN-BORG

# You can generate a static OpenVPN key
# by selecting the Generate Key option
# in the start menu.
#
# You can also generate key.txt manually
# with the following command:
#   openvpn --genkey --secret key.txt
#
# key must match on both ends of the connection,
# so you should generate it on one machine and
# copy it to the other over a secure medium.
# Place key.txt in the same directory as this
# config file.
secret key.txt

# Uncomment this section for a more reliable
# detection when a system loses its connection.
# For example, dial-ups or laptops that travel
# to other locations.
#
# If this section is enabled and "myremote"
# above is a dynamic DNS name (i.e. dyndns.org),
# OpenVPN will dynamically "follow" the IP
# address of "myremote" if it changes.
; ping-restart 60
; ping-timer-rem
; persist-tun

# enable LZO compression

# moderate verbosity
