Do you use the same config (xp.ovpn) them ?

tun0 is a name under linux. When you specifiy 'dev tun' under windows, 
openvpn searches for an approriate tun-connection (e.g. Lan Connection 
3). If you need to specify the name of you tun-connection, then use: 
dev-node

When you want to connect your clients with other clients, than you need
'client-to-client', too

Remove that. Your Server is pushing these information to you.
By the way: You have to route to 10.101.1.13 (Linux) not to 10.101.1.14 (XP)
