[Openvpn-users] Can't connect from outside P_CONTROL_HARD_RESET_CLIENT_V2

[Josh Carlson <poboxjosh@xxxxxxxxx>]

Likely something simple I'm missing, but cannot find anything on the
mailing list/docs. I'll explain my current setup and

My current setup: (I'll refer to the server machine as office and the
client machine as home)
both machines are running openvpn-rc20

office network is 192.168.0.0 255.255.255.0 
office is redhat 4
office gateway has firewall opening and port forward for 1194udp
office LAN IP is 192.168.0.50
office gateway WAN IP is 208.xx.xx.xxx

home network is 192.168.2.0 255.255.255.0
home is windows xp pro sp2 with firewalls disabled

I am using server.conf and client.conf provided in sample-config-files/
(with correct paths to certs and home's remote is "remote  208.xx.xx.xxx 1194)

side note: If home is in the office network, I can successfully
connect the vpn by setting "remote 192.168.0.50 1194" and the machines
can ping each other.

Now, if home is on my home network (192.168.2.0) here's a log snippet
from home (verb 6)

[end log]

the last line P_CONTROL_HARD_RESET_CLIENT_V2 repeats "forever"

I have also tried using a mandrake linux machine as "home" and have
port 1194 open on the home firewall.

Here's a snip from the office logs, it appears that it is allocating
an ip for the home client.
Wed Apr  6 10:54:16 2005 us=691786 MULTI: multi_init called, r=256 v=256

Any help? 

Thanks much,
Josh
