VPN Connection Problems

[widmark]

I am unable to connect to my recently configured VPN Server with OpenVPN. I configured openvpn.ovpn file to connect using the dynamic public IP address assigned by my ISP (TimeWarner Cable) to my router (172.XXX.XXX.XXX). I am using the config and ca certificate files generated by my VPN server (Synology DiskStation - Linux based). I opened port 1194 on my router. I am on Windows 7.

What am I doing wrong? Please help. Below is the info provided by OpenVPN's dialogue box after attempting to connect. I have tried various IP addresses (internal subnets 10.X.X.X and 192.168.X.X) and all have the same result.

Issue resolved. Port 1194 was still blocked by the firewall on the NAS/VPN Server.
