I'm using OpenVPN 2.1.1 with Windows XP x86 SP3 and Windows 7 x64 clients to an Endian Community 2.4.0 box which includes OpenVPN 2.1-rc15.
Connecting from both works fine, but accessing resources on the green LAN does not work from Windows 7, and works for XP.
So: I can ping the hosts on the pushed networks through the VPN, but with windows7 I only ping the firewall green ip address.
Edit: I have tried the route-method exe / route-delay 2 trick, but that does not solve the issue.
More specifics on the Endian configuration (tried both 2.2 and 2.4, both fail):
red=192.168.100.25;192.168.71.25
green=176.16.41.1
orange=176.16.141.1
It basically runs as an OpenVPN server, serving at red, providing access to green.
On Windows XP, I have the default OpenVPN 2.1.1 install, using OpenVPN GUI (included in the install) and everything is dandy.
On Windows 7 x64, I run the same, but now with OpenVPN GUI as Administrator.
It can only ping the green gateway, but no other machines.

Anyone having an idea what goes wrong?

Well i faced the same problem. Tried all the stuff like enable file sharing, setting same workgroup, etc. Nothing helped but this:
I noticed that there is a multiple number of network adapters in Device manager. All were hidden so one must click View and enable hidden devices.
All of them were named something like ...4to6 adapter. When I removed all these adapters my file/printer sharing and networking with XP clients starts working after reboot. If there is a huge number of these adapters you have to remove it all. It can be done using appropriate (32 or 64 bit version) tool DEVCON.EXE (which is part of Windows Driver Kit - Download details: Windows Driver Kit Version 7.1.0). More can be found here The DevCon command-line utility functions as an alternative to Device Manager.
I found this solution here: http://ryanvictory.com/posts/automating-6to4-adapter-removal-in-windows/
