Expected peer address: xx.xx.xxx.xx:1194 Error

:'(
Hello complete Newbie here.   
I think I've setup OpenVPN correctly on my mac, but I'm not sure.   I've ready multiple configuration guides and I'm pretty much following what others have done before me.

I'm getting this message and I'm stumped.
expected peer address: xx.xx.xxx.xx:1194 (allow this incoming source address/port by removing –remote or adding --float)

However in my client file "openvpn.conf" if I replace the remote section with this  "remote 192.168.1.1 1194"   I get connected so I think I have my certs setup correctly.

Here is my client file:
client
dev tun
proto udp
remote xxx.xxx.x.x 1194;
ping 10
resolv-retry infinite
nobind
persist-key
persist-tun
ca ca.crt
cert xxx.crt
key xxx.key
ns-cert-type server
comp-lzo
verb 3
pull

Any help is most appreciated.

Take out "client" in the top of your config and replace it with "float"

float
dev tun
proto udp
remote xxx.xxx.x.x 1194;
ping 10
resolv-retry infinite
nobind
persist-key
persist-tun
ca ca.crt
cert xxx.crt
key xxx.key
ns-cert-type server
comp-lzo
verb 3
