You can use 192.168.1.7 on the TAP adapter at Office and 192.168.2.8 at Home,
there is no need to have a different address than on the LAN interface.

That means something is wrong with the public/private keys. To be sure, just
remove them completely, both from the host config files, and delete
rsa_key.priv, and then create them again.

If you use a firewall, you have to ensure that it allows access from the TAP
adapter as well.

It was not clear from your first mail, but if you want the computer at Home to
be able to see all the other machines at the Office, then you need to have a
completely different setup.
