Verify that you have an end-to-end connection before trying to push
any data through it.  If you are running windows vista or windows 7
and start the connection with the OpenVPN GUI, you have to run it as
administrator or it doesn't have the rights to add a route to the
routing table.

Don't be afraid of the certificate based method; it's really not hard!
 Using the shared secret will only allow a single point to point
connection.  That is, you have to use certificates if you want more
than one client.
