wondering if anyone can help me establish a connection to my softether VPN? Running a RN104 here. As far as I'm concerned, I've opened the correct ports on my router and configured everything correctly, but I seem to be having issues getting on - here is an extract from my log at the moment of connection showing the issues:

To accept a PPP session, you need to have a DHCP server. Make sure that a DHCP server is working normally in the Ethernet segment which the Virtual Hub belongs to. If you do not have a DHCP server, you can use the Virtual DHCP function of the SecureNAT on the Virtual Hub instead. 2014-09-27 08:22:03.623 L2TP PPP Session [192.168.0.1:1701]: The VPN Client sent a packet though an IP address of the VPN Client hasn't been determined. 2014-09-27 08:22:03.623 L2TP PPP Session [192.168.0.1:1701]: A PPP protocol error occurred, or the PPP session was disconnected. 2014-09-27 08:22:03.884 [HUB "Spectrum"] Session "SID-MPLUMMER-[L2TP]-3": The session was terminated.

It is possible that either the administrator disconnected the session or the connection from the client to the VPN Server was disconnected." (code 11). 2014-09-27 08:22:03.924 Connection "CID-5" was terminated. 2014-09-27 08:22:03.924 The connection with the client (IP address 192.168.0.1, Port number 1701) was disconnected.
I think the problem is on client side config, as you can see on logs, the client cant get valid IP:
