FWIW I doubt this has anything at all to do with openvpn directly. You
described a VPN working perfectly, with at least two IP protocols. This
is almost certainly a Windows issue. I don't support Microsoft, so I
didn't reply.

Come back with hard evidence that openvpn is somehow causing this
problem. Otherwise, check your SMB/CIFS configuration. At no extra
charge I'll throw out a WAG: you're using domain authentication, and
Windows clients not onsite are giving the wrong (or no) domain for
authentication. As Charles suggested, a packet sniffer will show it.
I have to agree this is a Windows issue not OpenVPN. if it was
OpenVPN specific there would be a large number of reports on the
mailing list. Just because you can reach a device via IP doesn't mean
that the Windows configuration is correct.
