I have searched other posts regarding this same issue, and while they have helped, nothing has resolved my issue.
Client AND Server are both Windows 7. OpenVPN # 2.1.3. Ports are forwarded on Server router (using 1723 because that finally allowed me to ping through DYNDNS to my server.)

Server.log is empty. It told me about screwing up the double \, but I fixed that and it hasn't received anymore info. If I turn SPI Firewall off I get
Connection reset by peer (WSAECONNRESET). Any assistance would be appreciated.
