The VPN terminates on my firewall and I can reach any computer on my
home network, from the remote computer.  Did you notice that route
command at the end of the config file.  That's what adds the routing for
the remote end.  You'll also need a corresponding route at the other
end.  If the network end terminates on a computer, other than the one
used for your firewall, you'll need routing specified on each device. 
Otherwise, the default route takes care of it.  Use Wireshark to see
what's happening.
