Can I not just say "port 1195" in my routing mode configuration file?

When I fire up this additional instance of openvpn on my linksys
openwrt router and start the corresponding routing mode client on my
notebook at a wireless cafe (where the router is at home) it looks
good. On the notebook I see both tun and tap devices with good proper
looking ip addresses. Specifically, I see a tun0 for 10.169.6.6.

I then abort the bridging instance of openvpn client on my notebook and (of
course) the tap device disappears from the ifconfig display.  

I can ping myself (10.169.6.6) and the router (10.169.6.1) but I
cannot ping any of the other lan on my lan at home. Why not? My
desktop machine is at 10.169.1.8 and cannot be pinged in routing mode. Why
not?

Thanks,
Siegfried
