Once the settings are imported, click on the openvpn applet again.
You should see "Select OpenVPN Connection" with (at least) two buttons: "Connect to ..." and "Manage connections"
Click the "Connect to" button - this is how you connect to the VPN that you imported.
If you are not able to access your VPN network after asking it to connect to the VPN, then it's time to troubleshoot:
Click on the OpenVPN applet again and this time, instead of "Connect to" there should be "Status" and "Disconnect".
Click status - this should give a summary of the VPN status.
To get a detailed status, click "Details".
After that, to get the full details, click the "View log" button.
These logs may be useful to you if you've mucked around with OpenVPN before, but it may be better if you just showed them to your system administrator at this point.

Lets start from the basics: Can you tell me the name of your config file?
Does it have an extension of "ovpn" or "conf"?
Did your sysadmin give you only that config file? Did he give you any other files?
Can you open that config file in notepad and see if it is readable?
Do NOT post it here (or anywhere) - it may have your keys embedded in it.
Does the file contents have anything that seem to be like C:\full\path\to\file?
This may need to change to reflect where you have the other OpenVPN files on your n900.
If all these are fine, there are many other things to check, but it's getting late here and I need to sleep, so you may also want to try that config file on a regular Windows / Linux machine (Linux preferred) and see if it works.
I'll check back here later.

There is a Cisco VPN app somewhere around here. I think it's called "vpnc".
I just did a search for "Cisco vpn" on t.m.o. and found this thread.
Hope this helps.
