Tinc on Windows

Hi folks.

At the moment I'm using tinc to connect to linux boxes, both of which
are behind NAT. 

This works just fine. I'd now like to connect some roaming windows users
to the network so they can browse a samba share like I can already do
with linux. These folk will likely have dynamic IP addresses.

The server has an IP of 10.0.0.2
My client has an IP of 192.168.1.100

Here's what I have at the moment. This all makes sense when I know what
the client IP will be, but I don't know what to do when I'm connecting
with a Windows client that has an unknown IP address. Will this even
work with my server config?

Any help would be really appreciated.

Russell.
