I'm trying to openvpn into an office network (192.168.1.0/24) from a client sitting on a network with the same subnet (also 192.168.1.0/24). It is a linux (ubuntu 9.10) server and windows client.
I followed this ubuntu openvpn community documentation guide and from what I can tell the base connection works fine. Of course I get a bunch of error/warnings about ip address collisions.
I was then trying to follow this guide on 'Dirty NAT tricks to get a VPN to work with clients also numbered in the private address space' but have not been successful. While I have a theoretical understanding of routing/masquerading I have relatively little practical experience and am unsure what is wrong.
Thus far, I have gotten to the point where the client connects to the server and is assigned an IP 10.22.8.10. However I am unable to ping the server ip 10.22.8.1 like the documentation suggests I should be able to.
The server config is basically identical to guide 1 with the modifications from guide 2, i.e. setting the 'server-bridge 10.22.8.1 255.255.255.0 10.22.8.10 10.22.8.120' and 'push "route 10.22.0.0 255.255.0.0 10.22.8.1"'. In addition I add the tap interface configuration commands to up.sh.
The client config remains the same as guide 1.
Server 'ifconfig tap0' (edit: sorry if this looks screwy. In the preview pane of editing this post it looks fine)

The client route seems to be pushed ok (route print):

However when I try to get to 10.22.8.1 it still seems to want to hop out of my local internet connection:

Can anybody advise me as to what I'm doing wrong (or alternatively, if there is an easy, more tenable way of doing what I want - note that as per solution #1 in guide 2, renaming either subnet is not possible)
Your default route metric value is lower than the 10.22.0.0/16 route and it gets routed to the default route. In resolving routes, if more than one route matches destination, the lower metric value route takes precedence.
Either push a default route through VPN or lower metric for 10.22.0.0/16 (increase metric for default route).
It should look like this:
What you need to do, is to remove the default route and add a route specific only to your VPN server and mark it available through your local router.
So, you should have 3 routes:
