I have an openVPN network ready.
Got a connection from my mobile laptop.
(initialized. TAP Windows32 Adapter V8 connected)

I didn't get my Windows network visible from the road.

openVPN is on a Linux firewall pc.
This firewall is between my home network and the internet.

Has anybody a hint what could be wrong?

Could be all sorts of things.

Are you pushing the route for the home network out to the OpenVPN client?

In the OpenVPN server config, you need a line something like:

push "route 192.168.0.0 255.255.255.0"

Also you will need Netfiler rules to allow the Windows networking protocol to
get through. If you are not using a WINS server then you may have trouble
with netbios name resolution on the remote client - you might have to add
entries to the windoze system32\drivers\etc\hosts file.

Klazmon.
