Hello,<br><br>I am having troubles with the following configuration in that it produces the following errors:<br><br><font size="4"><u><b>Masterserver:</b></u></font><br><br>On the server (yea, I know) side is a Linux machine called "<b>masterserver</b>". It should have a VPN IP of 192.168.2.1 and it sits behind a pretty generic ADSL Router (with port 655 forwarded) which can be found via a dynamic host address. A small snippet of errors this machine produces are:<br>

<br>I'm sure you probably get this an aweful lot and its probably something irratatingly simply, but if anyone could help, that would be hugely appreciated.<br><br>Thank-you kindly.<br><br>Andy Barlow<br>
