This proves that the tunnel works, for ping to work the ping request must reach the device, through the tunnel and the response must return, again through the tunnel.
I can not ping the VPN client from LAN computer (192.168.3.x)
Why is this a problem? The test above proves that the tunnel works.
If you can ping 192.168.3.x from the VPN client, you have traffic passing through the tunnel in both directions - what is probably happening is that the ping request is blocked at the VPN client by a personal firewall or similar.
The Tunnel opens on client with IP 192.168.4.2/255.255.255.0, the client does not show a Default Gateway.
I believe this is normal, I certainly wouldn't worry too much about it - the fact that you can reach another network (the 192.168.3.x one) indicates that the client knows how to get "off lan" which is what the default gateway entry is used for.
In short - you haven't told us anything that suggests there is a problem - is there something that is not working?
