OpenVPN: trouble connecting from windows client

Hello,

I have setup openvpn on my fedora server and I can start it up fine and everything. I downloaded the openvpn gui for windows and copied over all of the necessary keys and certs and tried to connect. Well I reached the server but the connection fails after that. Here is the error message I get on the windows site:

PHP Code:

On the server side I see this:

I disabled the firewall on my windows machine for the vpn network connection.
Here is my config file for the windows client:

PHP Code:
client
dev tun
proto tcp

remote XXX
.XXX.XXX.XXX:XXXX
resolv
-retry infinite
nobind

persist
-key
persist
-tun

ca ca
.crt
cert sousa
.crt
key sousa
.key

comp
-lzo
verb 3 

If anyone could help I would really appreciate it. Thanks.
