Hi!

I have a problem with my network.
The situation is as follows: Suse 9 server with OpenVPN 2.0.2, Windows
XPSP2 clients with OpenVPN 2.0.2. Some of these clients are to be moved
elsewhere and need to connect to the server.
OpenVPN starts fine on both server and clients and I'm able to get a
tunnel as long as the computers are connected to the internal network.

As soon as I try to connect via the internet, the clients time out. It
looks like they can't even connect to the server. Now, I've turned off
the firewall and forwarded port 1194 (the one I use) from the router
(Teledat 630) to the server.
I still can't get them to connect.

What am I missing?

Regards,

Joachim
