The problem:  Client can connect, but cannot send any traffic to the
Network, Server can ping client,

Solution:  The RemoteIP and LocalIP tags were both set to the same range
and the same address was being used for both.  By changing localip to
10.0.0.4-5 and RemoteIP to 10.0.0.6-7 the client was able to connect and
send ping traffic to the Lan.

Thanks to all who replied!
