I need to run a client's software locally on my machine and have it talk over a VPN link (Team Viewer VPN) to connect to the live database so I can attach a debugger to the client software and figure some issues out that the client is having.
When any of the computers on the client's network connect it works fine. Here is the output from the driver's debug information.

However if I attempt to connect using my VPN link it does not work.

A few issues I think could be the problem is the fact that Team Viewer wants me to route the traffic through it's special IP and the broadcast is not transmitted through it. I attempted to tell the TCP/IP link to use the server's VPN's IP and port but that did not solve the issue either

One thing I did notice is that the port was not listed on the Trying 7.192.141.131 even though I explicitly told it to use that port and the same line in the working log shows the port included as Trying 192.168.0.2:2638.
Firewalls are disabled on both the client and server so the problem is not related to that, I think it is because the port number is not being set but I do not know what I am doing wrong to cause it not to be set.
This is using the Adaptive Server Anywhere 7.0 driver.
