Are any iptables rules running?  You need to figure out whether the kernel is getting the requests 
and if so, where it's sending the replies.

I don't have any ideas beyond that.

I use SSH rather than a second instance.

You can run openvpn on your Linux client using the Windows client's config.  You'd be best off not 
running the Linux config at the same time.
