tinc while traveling

[Donald Pearson]

it almost sounds like your configurations are a backwards,  Your server
should not be "connecting" to your client on any specific port, but rather
responding on whatever high port the client uses when initiating the
connection. can you post the config files?


Also, is your server a windows machine?

If so, are you using windows firewall or any other security programs or
antivirus + security suites that may need to be configured?
